I have a problem highlighting items on webpages (specifically text) to save as a file for printing. If I hold the left mouse button to highlight the text, the page doesn't auto scroll down to where text is off the screen. An example is here: http://sonalacant.blogspot.com/search/label/Agenda

Any ideas please as it means I have to go back to IE for certain pages??

Chosen solution

Click the first letter of the syntax you want to save (you won't see anything appear onscreen), then scroll down to the last letter of the sentence or paragraph, hold down SHIFT and then click it. This will highlight everything in between. Then CTRL+C to copy.

Works in any browser or document.
