>>Hi,

>>I want to copy all text appearing in a column of a web page. The column has text and a scroll bar. The scroll bar works and allows to scroll up and down. I can highlight the text (using the mouse) in the visible portion of the column. But how do I keep highlighting and scrolling down at the same time?

Thank you; this works. Unfortunately, even though the text appears in the column as short paragraphs separated with blank lines, when I paste it into a notepad, the entire text becomes just one paragraph.
