Hi,
if you want the content of the cells appear as in "normal notebook view"
(I guess this means StandardForm, usual character-sets are not
sufficient. 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

of interest?
