Previous to Firefox 4 I could highlight text in body of e mail, select Edit and drop down to copy then minimize screen and select Word Doc file, then paste and print text. 

  Please advise, Coyote Deb

You have the orange Firefox button?

You can call up the classic menu bar temporarily by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10. To display the classic menu bar all the time, choose

View > Toolbars > Menu Bar

That will replace the orange Firefox button.

Also, you should be able to copy by right-clicking on the selected text and choosing Copy from the pop-up menu. Could be quicker in some cases.

I do a lot of copy and paste and find this add-on very useful:

You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut buttons next to Firefox > Edit (and in its sub menu) and in the regular Edit menu on the menu bar (press F10 if the menu bar is hidden).
The buttons next to Firefox > Edit are enabled if there is something to do with them, just like with the toolbar buttons.
You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut toolbar buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window and drag them on a toolbar.

For a quick and easy way to Cut, Copy and Paste text you can use the Windows shortcut keys.

First, highlight the text. To Copy, press the Control button (Ctrl) and then whilst holding this press the C button (Ctrl + C). To Paste the text you have just copied press Ctrl + V on the new Word Document.

If you wish to Cut text from the document and paste it elsewhere, press Ctrl + X, then of course Ctrl + V to Paste the text.
