Follow these steps:
- Highlight the are you’d like to copy
- Go to Home / Find & Select / Replace (or press Ctrl + H)
- Search for = and replace with a text that’s not in your file – in this example I chose “notinfile” (note as mentioned in the comments in YouTube, you can also replace with ” =”, i.e. a space before the equal sign)
- Go back to Home / Find & Select / Replace (or press Ctrl + H) – search for your text – in my example “notinfile” and replace with =.
- That’s it!
