Sort of. If you highlight text, it will appear highlighted in your book, and your Kindle will create a "My Clippings" file, which will contain all your highlights, notes and bookmarks. When your Kindle is plugged into your computer, you will find that file in the documents folder. It's a standard text file, so you can open it in Word, or copy/paste the text into a Word document.

The highlights and notes are also copied to a web site: https://kindle.amazon.com/

If she's wanting to copy short clips of text, then the answer is yes. There is probably a limit on how much text you can highlight, though I've never hit it. I'm assuming you can't highlight an entire book
