Saving birthday (and other) lists in text form

Can a birthday list, or other list, be saved in text form, as opposed to a screen shot? Our ward relief society publishes a monthly newsletter containing birthdays. It would be much easier to copy names and dates from the birthday list and paste them into the newsletter, compared to transcribe them, and it would reduce the possibility of errors. Thanks.

You may want to reconsider this practice. While I can't find anything that prohibits it, people are generally more sensitive about privacy issues and the distribution of personal information than they used to be. Sharing of some information, such as age is prohibited. But birthdays seems to fall into a gray area and not mentioned. (That I can find.)

LCR is designed to discurage the exporting of membership information which probably explains why it's difficult.
