Default How to extract email addresses from a word document

I have been looking at away to extract email addresses from a word documents. I came across a thread in this forum answered by Graham Mayor
where comprehensive instructions are given to do this.

1. Use Ctrl+C to copy the search term below:

[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}

2. Use Ctrl+V to paste it into the "Find what" box in the Find dialog.

3. Click More to display the rest of the dialog; check the boxes for "Use
wildcards" and "Highlight all items found."

4. Find All.

5. Click on the title bar of the document to return the focus to the
document.

6. Press Ctrl+C to copy all the highlighted email addresses.

7. Open a new document and Paste.

I use word 2010 and the instructions work perfectly, the email addresses are highlighted.

From that point I am unable to select the email addresses copying them and pasting them into a separate document. Can some one assist me from that point.

I think from point 5. above is where I have a challenge.

Many thanks

Rodney
