    Dear all,

    In a pragmatics class I would like to use some real samples of classroom
    interaction (for my students to analyse the move structure in terms of IRF
    etc.). I thought I could simply take one or two of the transcripts included
    in ICE-GB but now I don't seem to find a way of copying (cutting/pasting)
    texts from ICECUP (in the browse text mode) to a Word or text file. My
    not-so-ideal solution was to enlarge font size and use screenshots, but I am
    not quite happy with that (some lines are cut off). When I go to the corpus
    files proper, I get all the markup material which I don't want either. Does
    anyone know of a way of extracting plain text from this corpus?

    Thanks and best wishes... Ute
