Copying Plutarch lessons - busyncmama - 10-28-2022

In the past I have been cutting and pasting Plutarch lessons into an Open Office document to print out for our studies. Today, when I tried to cut & paste the next two lessons, I couldn't get them to paste. I am wondering if something was changed on the website to prevent it, or if the problem is on my end. I was able to copy them directly from the website, which I didn't realize before that I could do, but I can't reformat that way. Thanks.

I just tried copy/pasting a few of the Plutarchs to a text file and they all worked. Nothing has been changed on our end, although our webhost migrated to a new server a few weeks ago.

Are you able to copy/paste some studies but not others? Or are they all suddenly not working, including ones that worked before?

And when you say "copy them directly from the website," how are you doing that? I only know how to copy the text and paste it to a document.

I highlighted the text that I wanted to copy and right clicked the same as I would to copy; one of the choices is "print selected".

I just tried again & had no problem! Earlier it gave me some boxes, but no text... very strange. I tried various things with the same results. I was needing Lessons 6 & 7 of Demosthenes. When I tried Lesson 5, which I had just copied last week, I had the same result. I have to assume it was a glitch on my end, but I have no idea what I did.
