Copy/Paste Functions

[phantomjt]

Hi all I am a new Mac user - just switched from PC to Mac 3 days ago...so I'm trying to get a hang of everything.

My question is about the copy and paste functionality of the Mac while using Safari. For some work I do, I need to copy and paste website content to word documents (for example, in PC, I would select all, copy, and paste into Word). I can do the same thing with Safari and Pages, yet when I am on a site with drop-down menus and have selected the item from the menu and try 'select all, copy and paste' with Safari & Pages, it copies ALL drop down menu options. I only want it to copy the one I've selected. Also, this site allows me to enter free-form text in text boxes, but the select all/copy/paste doesnt pick up the text I've entered either.

Any way around this?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe Firefox behaves the way you are used to and you need it to behave.
Or is it essential that you use Safari for this task?

I've tried using both firefox and safari and the same problem occurs. Are there any other 'screen capture' type of programs/apps that may help me with this?

Thanks again,
