Sign in and you can copy and review all hour highlights and notes there. You can copy and paste to any other documents.

kindle.amazon.com only tracks annotations with books purchased from Amazon. I believe the question here concerns annotation of 'papers', i.e. personal documents. So that leaves 'My Clippings.txt' as the main way of extracting the annotations for re-use with a word doc, etc. There are definitely limitations to doing so, for example, annotations for a given document may be sprinkled throughout the My Clippings file, and if you delete an annotation, no record of the deletion is tracked.
Another mechanism that is available is the ability to capture screen images using Shift+Alt+g. For example, you can open the book, 'View My Notes & Marks' and take screen captures of each page of these. Copy/move these to your computer and you can view them there. If you have an OCR program, you can extract text from the screen captures so you don't need to retype.
None of this is particularly convenient. I would like to see an 'export notes' function that would dump the current notes for a particular book to a text file. It would be easier to work with that way, and even better, if there were a way to email that file from Kindle to yourself or someone else. However, Amazon doesn't seem to implement all of my suggestions.
