Cross References Guide - How do I copy the key passages?

I want to quickly copy the key passages in the cross-reference guide, as references, preferable without hyperlinks, so that they can be pasted in a Word document.

I can remove the hyperlinks later if need be ... but at the moment I cannot select the text/references.

For example, the first 5 references below will suffice for my purpose ... I can get all 24 using a passage list but the passage list places the 24 references in canonical order rather than the order below ... so I have to find them individually within the 24, or choose others, which takes time. Using the passage list also creates yet another document.

I am probably using the wrong tool ... so suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you.

    Use the Cross References guide from Bible Reference Guides in the Guides menu i.e. a single section guide. Then Print/Export to a Text Document ----> ignore the hyperlinks inserted by the forum editor!

    Le 19:9 | “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest.  
    Le 23:22 | “And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.”  
    Dt 24:19 | “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.  
    Ru 1:2 | The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.  
    Ru 3:2 | Is not Boaz our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

    There are actually two other faster methods to copy plain text. I give them here for future reference. I think the developers thought of the lazy users like me [:$]

    A) Using Mouse and/or Keyboard

    Don't try to select from the Reference (left to right), Try to select from the end of a verse (right to left). Right-Click for popup-menu or click inside a verse and press Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C

    B) Mouse Right-Click on Section Headers

    Just right-click the section header "Cross References" in the Guide and click "Copy". This should work from almost everything, even from Explorer and Information Panels. The Section need to complete a search first.

    Well done! When you paste into Word 2016 you can then choose to "keep text only" (as a one-off).
