Hi Joe,

I used the originally distributed MS Word document for exactly this reason.

Hi,

I've obviously been running a bit behind but I've finally had a chance
to take a closer look a why I couldn't copy text out of the

document

I tried copying text in both Acrobat Reader and in Preview on the Mac, but it
seems as if the "text" in the columns is actually not saved in the document as
"text" but may be saved as a rendered bitmap instead. Could this be possible?

Checking File --> Document Properties in Acrobat Reader, I notice that the
document looks like it was produced from MS Word using cgpdftops CUPS filter

Are others able to successfully copy and paste text from the Proposals
document?

Unless there's some trick I'm missing, I'll retype the relevant sections
manually, I guess.

Thanks,

Joe
