The very first Ask-Reuben article dealt with ways you can Copy and Paste Tables into the Clipboard.  Essentially you enable Multiple-Row selection and the end-user can select multiple rows.  Even if you do not want multiple row selection enabled, you can code an action to enable multiple-row select, select all rows, copy them to the clipboard, and then disable multiple-row select again.  Unknown to me was that I left out a technique that had been added without much fanfare to the product.
 
Users of terminal emulators like PuTTY and code editors like Genero Studio will be aware that you can hold down a key (typically Control or Alt), and use your mouse to select a rectangular selection of text.  The same user experience is available in the Genero Browser Client.  If there is a TABLE rendered on the screen, it does not matter if it is in a DISPLAY ARRAY, INPUT ARRAY, or is not in an active dialog, you can hold down the Control-key and make a rectangular selection, which you can then press Control-C to copy into the clipboard.
