copying blocks of text

Question: hello all,

I have a quick question regarding a little annoyance when it comes to copying and pasting from my front end application and R/3 enterprise.

I know about CTRL+Y, which selects blocks of text. However, if I drag my pointer in any direction, I cannot copy the text outside of visible window area.
Please help in solving this annoyance, as I'm sure there's a way to handle it.

Here are my front-end installation vers.

MAIN MODULE INFORMATION:
Name............: sapfront.dll
Description.....: SAP Frontend for Windows
Product version.: 640 Final Release
File version....: 6403.3.10.2962
Build number....: 758555

Thank you in advance

Answer:
There is a trick which works sometimes: change the SAPGUI font size to allow to display more. You can even go down to 1 point !

my gui only goes down to 8 pts. Great idea though, thank you.

Answer:
Believe me! Don't use the drop down box for the font size, just type in "1!

lol.....you're right, I was able to type 1 and it worked. thank you. It's really too small to see, but it will help.

thanks again!

Answer:
just an update to this issue........

I often times work with large amounts of text, and even going down to font 1 does not uncolver all there is to it. All that on top of trying to fish through the menu to restore the font size.

I find it hard to believe that this issue is not causing major problems to other people.....any ideas??

Answer:
Just another to add to the list of why it totally sucks. I find it often loses the first character when it cuts and pastes, sometimes the buffer randomly clears, and I havent yet found a way to copy from an individual cell of an ALV.

I think the sapgui was originally written by the canteen lady's nephew during his school holidays. From there it went downhill.
