Could you please advise me if there is a way to copy an Interlinear into a word processing document?

Mike copied text shows inline data that is laid out like an interlinear. That data is obtained from the associated Reverse Interlinear dataset. In the UI, this is referred to as the Inline Reverse Interlinear, but it is presented as an Interlinear, so often people are not precise when talking about it.
I found an Interlinear Bible works best (I'm using MS Word):
1.Open in a floating window
2. Make its width smaller than the page width of Word on your screen.
3. Display Manuscript, Lemma and Literal translation
(screenshot is from MS Word)4.Select Narrow Margins in Word (you might have to use Custom Margins, though)
5. Copy your Interlinear text and paste into Word
6. Keep Source formatting in Word as it is more compact.
* if an Interlinear display (three rows in this case) is split over two pages, you might have to manually adjust the bottom/top page margin.
It is fiddly, and I'm not sure when Word resorts to using a Text Box vs Tables!
