Try saving the page you are viewing to a local file. Then when you open it in Notepad from the START column as .html it will be the source code that you see and it will be presented as ascii, which is what you can copy/cut and paste.. From there if there is any part of it that you want to take out and use just copy it from that source code to a new file as .html by including the instruction <html> first and the instruction </html> at the end. This makes the browser read it like it was on a web page. writing simple html is not hard at all, give it a try. Try looking at the source code for one of my pages like this one: <http://www.gunsmith.fuselier.com/hearing.html> regards, Jack F ============================== How can any fair minded person believe that only the police should be entitled to defend themselves with a handgun? <http://www.gunsmith.fuselier.com> in East Texas From: "§Pat§" <rhekay@xxxxxxxxxx> To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, December 26, 2003, 11:24:10 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: What does this mean ???????
