2. On the Options tab, in the 'Edit Options' section, check off 'Quick Edit Mode'. See Fig. 2.
3. Click 'OK' and you can then just click and drag the cursor around the text you want to copy. See Fig. 3.
4. Right click and the selected text will be copied to the clipboard. You can then paste it into a text editor.
