Cricket,
For most IBM and their browsers you can go to the top of the post and push down the left mouse button. While holding it down, scroll down to the bottom of the post, it should all be "highlighted". Release the left button. Go to the "edit" menu (usually at the top of your window) and click on "copy" in the drop down menu.
Now you can go to mosst any word processor, click on "paste" (usually in the "edit" menu) and the words you highlighted should appear on the screen.
You might have to do some adjustments to it, but you can print from there.
Hope this makes sense to you.
