[blindlaw] highlighting in westlaw

Sat May 30 16:16:50 UTC 2015

Hi all,

I have a question which is quite germane to this discussion - what is the most expeditious way to copy-paste pertinent paragraphs of a judgment into a word document without affecting the formatting? The biggest problem that I face with conventional copy-paste is that the pasted portion contains a lot of unnecessary line breaks each of which has to be removed manually. Is there any way to circumvent this?
