How do I copy multiple lines of interlinear NT text?

I'd like to copy and paste three lines of interlinear data: (1) the Greek text, (2) morphological info, and (3) an English gloss. Presently, when I highlight an entire block of interlinear text, then copy and paste it, all I get is the Greek text.

I'm sure I've succeeded in doing this in the past, but for some reason I can't get it working this time.


Thank you.

    I just tested this on Win10 with the ESV Interlinear and a copy/paste works on my machine. You can't Print/Export but you can copy/paste and get the morph and gloss.

    I also test the SBLGNT interlinear and it worked as well (copy/paste only).

    Which bible are you using?

    I tried copying several (Lexham, LEB-interlinear, Newberry's etc) with no luck; only surface. There must be a setting somewhere. I'm on the Mac-side. Been that way for a while.

    I'm using a Mac, too. Strangely, I just discovered that when I copy and paste into a Word document, I'm getting all the interlinear lines which I've activated. What I had wanted to do, though, was to copy and paste into a rich text document in another editor, not Word. That doesn't seem to work, for some reason. But, once I've pasted the interlinear block into Word, I can copy and paste it into my rich text editor. So, I guess I'm succeeding, though not very efficiently.
