As already suggested filtering can limit the number of rows that are
displayed. If you prefer to see the data in a form (which shows only one
record at a time regardless of filtering) rather than what appears to be a
row in a spreadsheet...

1. Open your LO Base database.
2. Select "Forms" from the column of icons on the left side of the window
3. In Tasks, near the center top of the window, select either option. I
suggest selecting "Use Wizard to Create Form..."
4. Use the options in the Wizard to create a form that displays one record
at a time.
    -- Form arrangement options are in step 5 of the form wizard. Chose any
"Arrangement of the main form" options *except* "As Data Sheet"

If you haven't already found this link
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Guide
it connects to several varieties of documentation. A full manual which you
apparently found and several smaller guides as well.

I don't have any idea what is causing your problem "...I cannot copy the
sections..." The link provided above goes to user guides in both PDF and
ODT format. Individual pages can be printed from any of these documents.
And, anything in those documents can be copied using the usual method
- select with mouse
- right click selection
- click copy
- go to destination
- paste copied text/image into destination
