I'm using the cursor as the select tool. The text does become highlighted, but when you attempt to copy what's been selected, by right-clicking on the selected text, the menu that pops up doesn't even offer "copy" as an option.

The security settings on the document also say that the file cannot be copied.

Maybe you just happened to download the book before someone at NFHS changed the security settings.

Since I have had several members of my umpire association tell me that the 2010 FED test has been posted on-line (illegally), I can see why NFHS may be getting aggressive in protecting their copyrighted material.

(And, no, I do not know where on-line it is posted and I have not gone looking for it. But, yes, I have seen the entire test as I have already taken it.)

With today's technology, as long as they're still sending paper copies, "protecting" the test is tougher than ever. Personally, I guess I'm not seeing the big deal with the test being out there or the answers for that matter...anybody who's going to cheat on a rules test that we all should know is going to find a way to do it anyway...if they really want to prevent it, go after some of the "cheaters" and suspend their license for a season...the word will travel fast. Otherwise, FED shouldn't worry about something that nearly public domain in baseball america...as long as nobody is selling their material...let it ride.

FWIW I tried the softball version today and was able to copy...I didn't even try to right-click though, I just went to "Edit" and copy and it worked fine. What's up w/ baseball I wonder?

sorry for the multiple posts on this thread...don't mean to hijack so this will be my last one...but I was able to copy and paste from the baseball 2010 casebook on a version that I downloaded 2 minutes ago...so it is possible...not sure why I'm able to and not others?
