clipboard issue in Windows?

[Pete]

I can see where the confusion comes from on this.  The dictionary claims
you can copy a chunk of a control to the clipboard, even has an example  -
copy word -3 to -1 of field "Help".

Maybe it used to work as documented in the dictionary and somehow got
changed over the years?
