I've never tried doing that ..

but would it be possible to highlight, copy and paste into a Word document, then print that off?

I often print photos by using the CTRL + C command, then CTRL + V to paste it into a word document.

Above the numeric keypad you will see a button labelled "Print Screen".
This will capture the whole of the current screen which can be pasted into a graphics app of your choice for editing. I use IrfanView (free).

You can do much the same with Android devices, smart phones and pads.

I use the Snipping Tool. Which saves as a PNG file.
