Hi all,
Daran, you are, undoubtedly using Window-Eyes's copy and paste facilities
which rely on the browse buffer and this is unfortunately what happens as
the buffer doesn't honour formatting of pages.

there's possibly, (and I mean 'possibly') one way around it.

If you use Fire fox then, after turning browse mode off - you can use F5 to
activate Firefox's cursor and use the screen find command or FF's own find
command to find the beginning of the textyou want to faithfully copy, and
use the highlight commands like shift right arrow, or shift control right
arrow, etc to highlight the chunk you want in the conventional way.  I think
it may not work as well as it might in theory should, but if you can copy
and paste outside of browse mode then you stand a chance of retaining
formating information.

I wonder if it might be possible to load the page in question into an HTML
editor and possibly do what you want that way?

Certainly the up-coming over-haul of the browse buffer is now urgently
needed and I hope the hints GW have made about this might include the
ability to retain formating when using W-E directly to copy from web pages.

Could a script come to the reskue?

I'm just wondering if it's possible to copy from a table on the
internet, and to be able to paste it somewhere ehse either in an edit
field or document and to get it to maintain the same formatting? Because
I've tried before and no matter whether I use windoweyes or jaws, it
just seems to put each colum on a different line. Which obviously
doesn't look right. So is there a way that this can be done and if so
how can this be done??

Thanks.
