Funny. I had the volume turned down.
I'm hearing you say copy and paste...but the details of exactly what
procedure you're using to copy and paste are yet unclear.
Seriously though, folks, it's a flustrating ordeal.
I don't pretend to be an OOo pro but I've been around for a bit and
cut/copy/paste seems to be a standard across many computers. Which is
to say, you use CTL (Control) -X for cut, CTL-C for copy and CTL-V for
paste, and the computer will copy text, cut (delete) it if it's not
read-only, and paste, again if it's not read-only.
So what I did was copy the text from the web page, and pasted it into
OOo Writer. Unfortunately, Writer only seems to acknowledge the first
page.
From what you are saying it is probable that the issue yo are having
a problem with arises from your copy-paste procedure, rather than
from a program glitch.
LOL! I haven't encountered this with any other program except maybe
Notepad which is notoriously limited.
Perhaps if you would share exactly what that process is for you,
keystroke by keysroke, click by click. How are you selecting what you
want to copy? etc etc.
I can't be any clearer than that except to come over to your place and
show you.
Copy and paste works fine for me. I tried it copying web pages using
Firefox, Opera, and Safari. Pasting them into OpenOffice.org 3.1.0
pasted the whole web page. (30 some pages from my test site.
