copying text from putty to ... wordpad

[Ned]

Hi all,

I need to type a short article in VI text editor and then print it out using putty. Other than sending it to one of the printers connected to the school machine, is there any way I can do, kind of, copy and paste the text from the output into ... say wordpad? It's not only about this particular task, I'll be running into this issue constantly from now on.

Many thanks in advance!
Ned
