Heya, tsitora. Welcome to TSDN!

Well, in Mac OS X, you can just highlight any text with your mouse cursor, then click and hold for a second, then drag the text onto your desktop, and it will create a text clipping for you.

I'm sure Windows has something similar....

Thanks TNT for the reply

I mean that when you go to any browser( example :news on http://news.bbc.co.uk ). From that news i want to take a word or some sentences automatically. To refer the word or the sentences on that news, i want to use my cursor to designate the words. and after that i want it automatically saved on my local disk as a text file.

Thank You
Timothy

Actually, i want to read news or something that written in the internet, and there is a lot of words that i don't know what they mean. so , while i am reading them, i can highlight any text that i want with my mouse cursor and save it automatically in my local disk or maybe to database, without any drag and drop or stopping from my reading.
is it possible?
