Hi Dennis,
Is there any way of setting a top left bottom right rectangle and copying
everything in that rectangle?
Basically you would be creating a temporary frame and copying everything in
the frame to the clipboard.
For instance, it's simple to copy a column of info in a table or in Excel
but if you are in a tabulated document you can't copy a column.
Many thanks,
Jim Pipczak
