Don't use Word for anything except writing letters and/or other documents. Certainly never use it if you hope to preserve the integrity of any cut and paste operations or trying to manipulate plain text.

Just highlight the hex string above and hit CONTROL-C. I can't imagine any reason it would not copy unless your browser is broken.

As an alternate, press the EDIT link on John's post and then copy the code out of the edit box (browsers treat edit controls differently).

What browser are you using?
