Hello Bill,

No one ever likes this method when I explain it, but it works for me.

Set a hotspot at the beginning of the text you wish to copy. It must not be a 
link. Then set a hotspot at the end of the text, and once again, it must not be 
a link.

At your first hotspot, bring the mouse and do a physical mouse click. Go to the 
second hotspot, bring the mouse, and do a Shift-Click using the physical mouse 
(or trackpad, of course). All the text in between should now be highlighted.

Cheers,

Anne
