Is there a way to copy the text off an Ignition Vision client? I have a screen with a bunch of text objects that I would like to somehow copy and put into a text file. I also have an alarm history page that I would like to either export the alarms or copy and paste them to a file.

Please excuse me if this has already been answered, I just haven’t been able to find it real quick, and I have a tight deadline to get this done.
