Sure...highlight the text you want to copy (hold down left
mouse button and drag) then click on EDIT | COPY and
that'll copy it to the "clipboard." OR RIGHT-click on the
high-lighted material and select "copy." Then, in either
case, just paste the material into whatever document you
want with CTL+V or the "middle" mouse button (both mouse
buttons simultaneously when emulating 3-button mouse.)
