[Novalug] oowriter question

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

  First, you Select (delimit) the text you want, then you Copy it. In 
other words, "Copy" is  Postfix operation, not a Prefix one.

Of course, if you are having trouble even Selecting I would guess that 
what you are pointing at *Is Not Text*.

One way to find out is to do a Save As to another document and choose 
Text as the format.
