can you clarify a bit? for one, is it text you have provided or is it dynamically generated text, like from a form the visitor has completed?
for starters, you can supply a 'select all' function with javascript that will copy the text onto the user's clipboard. they can save the text in notepad or other.

for dynamically generated text i would suggest a perl or php form script that saves the data to a text file. upon completion of the form, provide a link to the written text file and advise the visitor to right-click and 'save as'.
there may be better solutions depending on what you're looking for.
