Does anyone have any idea how to copy and paste a page from Look inside the
book with a mac? I'd like it especially when I'm trying to provide someone with
a copyright page. Someone sent me some instructions once some time ago but
they didn't work. May because they weren't for a mac. Maybe it was you, Jamie.
