Create and copy a list of all items in a group?

amoss
I have a few groups and want to compare them but can't find a simple way to copy all the names of items. The limited directory available in my Zotero page (ie when I login to the zotero site and go to my groups) is not too friendly for my purpose here - I can't seem to copy those names and export them into a word processing program, for instance, so I could create a list.
Items listed in the middle pane of Zotero aren't copy-able (as a list), are they?
This seems like a question which would've been asked already but it's general enough that my searching through forums didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

    As of now you'd want to use the client, not the website (which is currently being redesigned and doesn't as of now offer any real functionality).
    You can just create a bibliography of all items in the midle pane (select --> right click --> Create Bibliography from selected items) - that would do for a comparison, no?
    It's obviously possible to adjust the output

    Yes, that's a good idea. I'm not sure it offers me the flexibility I want but that may be because I haven't actually used Zotero to create bibliographies. If I could save the titles of the files as well as the titles of their associated attachments, and put that info into a document or spread sheet, I think I'd be in business. Until I figure that out, I'll work with the bibliography format.
    thanks again.
