NewDeal Hot Tip 1506
General Use
Copy From Help-file Secret
There is an undocumented way to get text or graphics out
of a help screen into any application capable of accepting
Drag and Drop objects:
- Right click in an open help window. The cursor should
change to an I-bar shape
--sometimes
you have to right click a couple of times before it works.
- Use the left mouse button to mark any text (or graphics)
you'd like to copy.
- Use the right mouse button to drag the selected portion
of text into NewWrite (or another application)--this process
normally retains all graphics and formatting in the original text.
