1. Open the PDF file, using Acrobat Reader.
2. Click on the Text Select Tool icon (the T) toolbar at the top or on the left of your screen.
3. Select the text you want to copy and choose 'Copy' from the Edit menu. (right mouse?)
Open a blank Word or other text editor document (SI) and choose 'Paste' from the Edit menu.

>please do a remedial lesson on how to cut and paste from PDF. Step by step.<

This looks like a job for a technical writer and since I might be the only one on this thread I'll give it a shot.

To select, copy and paste PDF text

1. On the menu bar click Tools > Basic > Select Text.

2. Do one of the following:

- Click at the beginning of the selection text and drag across the text.
- Click four times to select all the text on a page.
- Drag a selection rectangle around a block of text.

3. Right-click (Windows) or control-click (Mac) and choose Copy to Clipboard.

4. Click in the document where you would like to paste the text.

5. On the menu bar click Edit > Paste.

Notes
- This works for Adobe Reader 6. I'm not sure about other versions.
- You can also click the Select Text Tool button(looks like the letter "T") on the tool bar.
