With images on websites you can usually right click then
copy and then paste the gif or jpg into the folder (or,
for some applications,) into the application of your choice.

Likewise with text, with a bit of practice you can right click
then wipe to highlight, release, right click again on
highlighted text, copy, then paste (selecting paste option
Unformatted Text) or paste into notepad which reduces
everyting to unformatted text.
Paste options depend on application, sometimes you have
to start from Edit menu to find the Unformatted Text option.
With Dreamweaver I think that there is an unformatted text
option to paste long runs of text in the code window.
But then I mostly edit/build in Wordpad because it opens
and saves, html without asking what format you want to
save in.
DW8 can produce non-validating code without warning you,
has some merit in early stages of design. With Wordpad
I can save and immediately see the effect with refresh
the browser.
Sometimes you can select tables or highlight cells, copy, and
paste into Excel, which gives you further options for
manipulating/parsing the data.
