Hi Joe

Why don't you just 'hilite' the info on the page you want to copy,
You know - hold the right click on the mouse down and drag it over the
info you want to copy.
Then Ctrl C and then go to Word Pad and hit Ctrl V and the info will
then appear there.
I tried it and it works beautifully.
I think you can use the 'Patch'option too of course.
We have the 1881 indexed census at our FHC as well,so I don't need to
use the online one.
Cheers
Frank
