Hi,
I'm trying to edit, save and print off an article from the British newspaper Archive from Findmy past. The small article I'm wanting is in the middle of the page and I don't know how to "cut and paste" it onto something else. I've managed to highlight it, but thats all. Can anyone help me please?

You've managed more than I can! I can't even highlight that format, let alone copy and paste! Have you tried right-click over the highlighted area, copy then pasting into a Word Doc?

Do you have a snip'it tool? If so, it might be worth making an internet search for instructions.

Hurrah!! I've done it! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Thanks Detective and Kay - with your help I managed to muddle through and did it.
Mind you, I don't know if I could do it again, as I tried different things and can't remember which one worked now! :-)
