One way would be to screen shot the information and save it as a jpg or png file. Create a new source and add the image to that new source.

You could also cut and paste the text into a txt or doc file and do the same thing with a new source and either attach the file or paste it into the 'Text from Source.

I suspect you will get some other options posted.

Another useful option is to start the web browser option for whats app and then you can easily cut and paste.
