Howto: Copy Plain Text from Webpage?
 

sorry for the dumb question,
I hope I am missing something obvious, but:

I can not copy plain text from webpages (with both the opera or microb on an N800). Touching and sliding the stylus only MOVES the webpage, but does not reach the text which is shown "underneath".
This drives me crazy, as there are quite often complicated phrases in plaintext which i want to store offline, and I find myself copy-typing those words letter by letter from the browser to maemopad+... arghhhh..

any hints? thank you, karl.

Triple or double tap the beginning of the text, then drag.

Double tap, on the second tap, don't lift up the stylus and drag to end of selection. Now you gotta tap pretty quickly and same place for this to work. It's very tricky.
