if I want to copy just certain paragraphs from text on the web, which keys do I hold down to allow multiple text selections??
 
Just hold down the left-hand mouse button and drag to select the text you want to copy.
Then either right-click and select Copy, or press CTRL+C to copy the selection.

If you want to select multiple areas of text, do it in multiple copy+paste operations.
 
If you want to copy multibal Paragraphs Highlight what you want and if you need to highlight more, Hold down SHIFT, It will allow you to highlight a differnt paragraph on a differnt part of the page without erasing your previous highlight. At the end Press CTR - V.

Click to expand...

That doesn't work with highlighting text. Only for highlighting files and such in Explorer and other programs. As soon as you try to highlight the second piece of text you lose the first.
 
Your right, it was something i tried in the past. I still have a need for the same thing sometime. Im looking into it now. im checking out the pluggins for Firefox and so far only found highlight tools. I tried editng Firefox and found an answer but it didn't work. said edit about:config in the location bar. then in the filter field type singleline. change the value to two. It was editor.singleline.pastenewlines. that was supposed to solve the problem. Didnt work for me. Ill check for another fix. It likely worked with an older ver.
