I'm using the Task Pane Custom help code found in the tutorials section. I am wondering if it is possible to make it so the user can copy information from the menu and paste it in their form?

I don't see why this wouldn't be available via the usual means (ctrl+c, ctrl+v). Are you trying to add a "Copy to Clipboard" button? I'm not sure how to do this but I'm sure there is a JavaScript example out there that shows how this can be done.

Yep that's what I'm trying to do. I am unable to select the text from my custom task bar. I'm sure I could write code to create a button to "Copy to Clipboard" but would be more work for our users to delete the parts they don't want.

You can allow users to copy text in the task pane when you place your text into read-only input elements. Remove the borders to make it look like plain text. Example:

<input type="text" readonly="true" value="This is a test" style="border:none"/>

Thanks it works but seems a little sloppy for the amount of text I have. Are there any other methods? I looked into <textarea> but the scroll bars are ugly.

You should be able to set the width and height parameters of a textarea element so that no scrollbars are displayed. Hope this helps.
