Hi Angie As others have said, click "view computer-generated text" option, then copy and paste the bit of text you want - then clean it up. If the OCR is not a very good rendition it is often quicker to start from scratch and copy type. I often format the article to show how it originally appeared to give a visual indication of it's origin - and make it look 'authentic'. One can also take a screen shot of the article and paste it into your program. On a Mac, simply press [Command Shift 4] keys together, select as much of text/article that you want to copy, and click. Then go to Finder, and the shot should show at the top as (eg) Screen shot 2014-04-27 at 8.24.14 PM.png You can open it in Preview or any other photo program, and rename the file in the usual way. PC users have their own way of doing screen shots. The downside of a screen shot is that the text of the article would not be computer searchable. Hope this helps Graham NZSG# 12879 -----Original Message----- From: Angie Barnett Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2014 9:40 AM To: NEW-ZEALAND@rootsweb.com Subject: [nz] Papers Past Hello All Can you please help me to learn how to copy Papers Past page into another program, like FTM?
