Best way to copy text from a website?

Whenever I try to copy content from a webpage, the system won't let me use /copy/. Instead, I end up taking a PrtSc and saving the file into my Documents. This just leaves me with an image rather than actual text. Is there a specific program I can use to extract the letters from the image so they aren't stuck as a picture? I need to be able to edit them as I see fit or, for instance, run them through Google Translate, which obviously doesn't work with an image. Any help would be appreciated.

Wait, how is it blocking you? Is the text actually embedded inside an image file?

If copying and pasting isn't cutting it, maybe give the "Save As" command (ctrl+s) a shot. If that still doesn't work, you might just have to download Adobe Reader and try scanning those screenshots through there.

I can't quite recall where I saw it, but I know the text was embedded inside an image, and it was all in Italian. I used a screenshot to pull it into Microsoft Word, but since it’s still just a picture, I have no clue how to "break" that text apart so I can actually edit the letters.
