Programme has copy and paste blocked ?

redout · 2008-11-10 20:08:16

Hello, I have a programme which I legally own. The problem is that all the text is protected ie: no copy and paste. If I highlight any text right-clicking the mouse does nothing. Is there a way around this ? I know some pdf files are protected in a similar way are they have work arounds available on the web so any help…

The Obvious I know, but did you try Ctrl+C since mouse doesn't work?

Thanks lads, ctrl+c done the trick. Still not sure why right-click does not function with copy and paste.
