Step 2 - Select the text
Click the select text button at the top of the screen and then select file->select all. All of the text in the document will be selected.
Step 3 - Copy the text
Click on the text with your right mouse button and select copy text. This copies the selected text into your clipboard.
Step 3 - Paste it to a Word Processor
Paste the text into a Word Processor. Open Office, Word, Wordpad, etc. Whatever you prefer. Click in the empty document with your right mouse button and select paste from the pop up menu, or select Edit->Paste or type ctrl-V on your keyboard. Whatever application you select, most of these should work.
