How do I get copy/paste to copy/paste text and not the whole page

C

Carol J.

When I am in a multi-page document, and copy text to paste into a new page,
the whole page copies, and not the text. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You SHOULD be able to easily select the text you want, copy and paste
it into another document. Since the entire page is being selected in
the copy process...there's something you're not telling us. Is the
content in a table? a textbox? Was this a scan? Is it a PDF?

Please provide more details since what you are saying doesn't make
sense under NORMAL circumstances.
