Copy & Paste Inerlinear to Word

Question

I had occasion to copy a verse from an interlinear version such as The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint. I needed to show, as an example, many of the lines such as lemmas and literal translation. I tried both Copy/Paste and Print/Export but the result was simply the original Greek. The other lines did not copy over to Word. The same thing happens when choosing other interlinears.  Is this a copyright issue or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

If you select the interlinear text and press Ctrl+C to copy it, a series of tables will be copied to the clipboard and can be pasted into Word.

(This is a buried secret feature because the copied tables are basically uneditable in Word: they're fixed width, they can't wrap; you can delete rows and columns, though.)

Good question.   One big reason I keep Libby fed.

I do notice the PDF option goes out interlinear; I think Word imports but don't know (on Mac).  The html option sends the lines out serially with no delimiters, but not what you want.
