How to copy multiple pieces of text from websites to put in a word document - I cannot create a "clipboard" to store it all easily and have to do one at a time!

more options

Hi everyone any help on this would be really appreciated. I need to copy bits of text from lots of different sections of a couple of websites and then want to put them all into one word document. At the moment I am having to copy one part then immediately switch applications from Firefox to Word to paste the text before switching back again to Firefox to copy the next piece of text. This is obviously really time consuming! And I was trying to find the equivalent in Firefox of the Word "clipboard" so I can copy multiple pieces of text and have them all still available to paste. I am sure this is a really simple question but any help would be really great! Thank you (Ps I am on a Mac but I am sure this does not make any difference)

The "clipboard" service for copy and paste between applications on a PC is usually a built-in function of the operating system - Mac, Windows, Linux, etc. There are applications available for extending the clipboard feature; I use one named Clip Trakker which allows me to save multiple "text clips" of [say] text from the internet which are saved in Clip Trakker, and then paste each of those "text clips" into a different program like Word [I actually use Libre Office].

I am not familiar with applications for Mac OSX, so I can't make any recommendations about an application.

As far as extensions for Firefox, there are many extensions that come up in a search for "clip" at the Add-ons Mozilla Org website. You can look to see if you can find any that will do what you want to do, like maybe this one:
