I spend a lot of time on the Web copying and pasting
stuff from the web to Word. I'm usually picking a
portion of text on a page so I have to hightlight what I
want. Is there anyway to do this without have to use the
mouse and drag over the text? Can the key board be used
instead.... I'm going crazy. thanks.

I use View Source. Then I can use the cursor keys to find
and select text. FWIW the main reason I do that is because OE
messes up the paste in Plain text mode by retaining the attributes
of the text if it is copied from a Rich Text Format source.
