Windows Clipboard will not copy text.?
I'll bet it is just this one web page and not in general within windoze. The web page controls whether you can copy text or not through your browser. The page can not stop you from highlighting text, but it can disable Control-C from copying the block. Many pages disable the right-click as a way to protect copyrighted images. There MAY be a way around the copy lockout. Display the "page source". I use Firefox. Under the VIEW menu, there is an option of "page source". When I select this, a separate window opens with the HTML of the web page. Locate the text you want to copy in this window, highlight it and then you should be able to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard. Whatever browser you use, there SHOULD be a way to display the page HTML source somewhere which is equivalent to the menu option I have in Firefox. Not only do I have the drop-down menu option, if I highlight an area and right click on the highlighted block, I have an option to view the source of the highlighted block instead of the whole page.
