I don't know a way to mark a part between bookmarks. But for selecting a 
large portion of text do this:

1. Set cursor at start of text part.
2. The status bar has a field for type of selection. Click on it and 
select "Extending Selection".
3. Set cursor at end of text part.
4. Cut/Copy the now marked text part.
5. Set type of selection back to "Standard Selection" in the status bar.
6. Do what you want with the clipboard.

Kind regards,
Regina
