To copy a Help topic

In the right  of the Help window, right-click inside the topic you want to copy, and then click Select All.
Inside the topic, right-click again, and then click Copy.
This copies the topic to the Clipboard.

Open the document where you want to copy the topic.
Click the place in your document where you want the information to appear.
On the Edit menu, click Paste.
Note
If you want to copy only part of a topic, select the part you want to copy, right-click your selection, and then click Copy.

the problem is that when i want to select just part of the text i can not do it ,
somehow the text does not color...
Follow rays advice and paste to notepad.  Then select the text you want to copy specifically
My first comment was a copy and paste from the windows help file, I had never tried that before so I did it just to see how it worked, that comment is proff that it does work.
Now maybe different help files work differently, is there a particular program that you want to copy the help files from?
