Shortcut to copy text from documentation in Matlab 2013b 64-bit on Windows

Question

I want to copy some text (namely code snippets) from the documentation. Ctrl + C doesn't work. Is there any shortcut to do it?

I use Matlab 2013b 64-bit on Windows 7 x64 SP1.

Ctrl + C doesn't work in Matlab 2013b 64-bit's documentation when certain versions of Internet Explorer, in particular IE11 and sometimes IE10, are installed. A workaround is to use Ctrl + Insert or Shift + Insert instead.

To get Ctrl + C working for Matlab 2013b, you can try downgrading to Internet Explorer 10 (follow steps 1 to 5).

@Basel Downgrading IE might do the trick (haven't tested myself, I have 2014a now) – Franck Dernoncourt Apr 21 '14 at 22:04

Thanks Franck, it worked... You may edit the answer to confirm this case too (simply following the steps here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20043971/how-to-downgrade-from-internet-explorer-11-to-internet-explorer-10). – Basel Apr 22 '14 at 01:25
@Basel Thanks, done! Did you downgrade to Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 9? – Franck Dernoncourt Apr 22 '14 at 01:31
Downgraded from IE11 to IE10. Basically, I followed the steps 1-5 of the shared link and then restart. – Basel Apr 22 '14 at 02:22

This may not be an exact answer to your question, but if your intention is to copy code snippets from the documentation in order to later be able to paste them into MATLAB for execution, then instead of using Ctrl-C you can use F9, which executes the selected code directly in MATLAB.
