But then let's say you want to select only part of what shows in cell. Suppose
the cell is a text saying "these are 4 words". I can copy-paste the whole text,
therefore copying it is no issue from a security perspective. However, if I
only want to copy "these are", then I need to paste the whole text elsewhere
and select it again in there - instead, I could just select the part that I
want, without modifying the cell, and copy that.</pre>
