Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying Pasting in Libre Writer

Another option is to place the cursor at the beginning of the text to
copy (may be select the first word with the mouse) and then shift-click
at the end so you don't copy all the other stuff in the page.
Some times it also works better starting from the end of the text and
shift-click at the beginning.
