Gizmo's Freeware: How To Copy Text From "Uncopyable" Windows Screens |
How To Copy Text From "Uncopyable" Windows Screens Posted: 05 Dec 2013 01:58 AM PST If you're keeping notes of your PC activity, or compiling instructions for someone else on how to use their computer, it's often useful to copy and paste text from the operating system into a document or other program. Perhaps most common is the requirement to copy the text from an error message dialogue box, so that you can paste it into a search engine and hopefully find a solution to your problem. Annoyingly, though, some parts of certain Windows screens won't let you copy the text. However hard you press the mouse button, the cursor stubbornly refuses to change into the shape that tells you it's allowing you to copy the text. The solution is a small program called GetWindowText. It's a tiny 0.05 MB download and works on all versions of Windows from XP onwards. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-copy-text-uncopyable-windows-screens.htm |
