You should just be able to cut and paste the content unless I am misunderstanding.

Whats the web page you want to copy?

You don't need to pres Alt. Just the Print Screen key copies the screen to the clipboard.

Use a peice of software at work called SnagIt.

Highly recommended for Print Screens etc. You can select certain areas of the screen, whole pages or even tool bars which you then save as jpg's etc.

Much more elegant way of copy and pasting IMO.

I think it was about £12 per license.

Thats only true if the window is maximised.

Pressing ALT copies only the window with focus to the clipboard. Printscreen on its own copies the entire desktop...

Select the text you want on the web page, then ctrl+C to copy it, go to the word processor and ctrl+V to paste it in.
