For example if you try to copy only what’s under ’‘Community Feed’’ no problem. But how do you copy what in the above link (if you go to Google you’ll see the links are on one side and the rest of the text on the other. You can post the link but what about if you don’t have time to go to tinyurl etc.?

Print+Screen the whole screen.
Open file in Paint.
Drag a box around the desired part.
Cut.
Save.

Or, if you use Windows, use the built in Snip tool; open it up, click New and drag a box around the section you want.

So, there is no way of copying and pasting? Because Screenshot and then doing the rest takes more time than copy paste, which takes almost in no time.

Thanks for your post @rebbel and @downtide.

And you have to download it into picture app before you can share it here. Imagur or Photobucket or something.

There are “snip-it” or copy and paste tools that allow you copy only as much (or as little) of the screen that you want. Place the desired section in a box, save to clipboard and paste to a Word document, email, etc.

So, I was referring to CTRL C and then CTRL V, or select, and then “copy” and “paste”, to avoid doing screenshot.
