What you can do is: - select the cells - press Ctrl-Shift-I (Wndows / Linux) or select from the menu: Cell->Display as->InputForm - from the menu select Edit->Copy as->Plain text but this procedure will replace some symbols (greek letter alpha for instance) by their long Mathematica-name (\[Alpha]). But this is the best I'm aware of. Maybe this posting (http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2003/Dec/msg00354.html) is of interest? Greetings, Peter
