I'm doing a similar thing at the moment, actually. I don't think there is a quick way to get the information from the images but I find copying and pasting names, ages, districts, even the dates of each quarter can save a bit of time.

Hello everyone
i am writing for some advice. I planning to transcribe Births,Marriage and death records for a surname that I am researching and i am looking for a quick way to get the into MS Excel or Access (to save time having to write them down then type in the program ) the only thing is you can't copy and paste off the images that ancestry and I don't see the point in registering with and another site. Any advice anyone

Many Thanks
