Rectangle copying of text

Hi,

In Adobe Reader, if you hold the Alt key, you can use the mouse to create a rectangle and that rectangle will select only the text in that rectangle, instead of following the text line-by-line. (My description is a bit simplistic, I know.)

I find this really helpful when I'm copying information from a table, as copying the whole table into Excel usually doesn't go as desired.

That's the only reason I use Reader, otherwise I'd only look at PDFs in Edge. Is there a way to do that in Edge? If not, I recommend Microsoft consider investigating this feature.

Of course, I'd also recommend Microsoft make it easier to copy tables from Edge into Excel.

Thanks,

Peter
