Thanks for the great video. I have a question though. I want to extract some information from an MS Word document. This information is numbered lines (sentences). When I copy and paste it, I do not want them to lose the number in front of them. The exact numbers they had in the original place. Does anyone know how to do it, please? For example, if I copy the second and fifth lines and paste them, I want the numbers 2 and 5 not to change. (PS. This is a huge document I do not want to change them manually)

For those wondering why this video is so long… this is meant to be for people who are learing how to use a computer. Like older people… it’s very obvious it’s made for people who genuinely don’t know how to use a computer
