Greg,the problem here is that it will not even allow me to highlight it in the clipboard ? I have never come across this before,it sort of defeats the object of having a clipboard,I think that I will adopt the very useful 'Print Screen' facility that you have mentioned and save the pages to a file,thank you for assisting me.

Your clipboard is copying the info you are trying to copy.......the problem is, it just wont show up on your clipboard.

Heres whatcha do.... Try opening microsoft word, wordpad or note pad...or all three. After selecting the text you wish to copy by highlighting it (left clicking infront of the first word holding the button down and then dragging the cursor over all you want copied, hold down ctrl then hit the letter "c". then go to one of the above three named programs and hold down ctrl and hit the letter "V".
The text should be pasted into atleast one of the programs. If so, then your clipboard is in fact working.

I am not sure why this problem occurs, but you arent alone. I also have this trouble when trying to copy and paste things from .pdf files sometimes, but, thru these other programs, I am able to get it done.
I think this may have something to do with text in here being part of java applets.

If the above doesnt work, you can always do a "prnt scrn" by holding down "Ctrl, then hitting "prnt scrn" up by F 12, then opening "wordpad" or Word and then holding down ctrl and hitting "V". However, this copies EVERYTHING on the screen...including headers and graphics.

I hope this helps,

Greg
