I'm probably not explaining this well, but sometimes I find an OLD newspaper or magazine article online that I want to use (for example cut and paste certain parts of it). But the format makes that impossible. Is there a program that solves that? For example, old articles from Life Magazine.
Some really old articles are just scans, meaning pictures of the pages. Particularly from old books. So I guess you need a program that will scan the 'picture' and make its best choices of what the letters are when converting to digital renditions. I remember some program like that from the late 80's but surely there is something better by now.

Yes. Google OCR programs. I just searched OCR in Win10 and got links to free and paid versions!
If you don't require conversion to text I recommend Snipping Tool, which comes with Windows 10. I think it's already been mentioned. I use it all the time. Simple to use to copy any portion of what's on your screen.
