I would suggest downloading a pdf or html file if they have one available. If not, I would cut and paste into AppleWorks depending on how badly I wanted the information. After that I would format it using a custom style sheet if I wanted to print it out, or add links and bookmarks if I were just keeping it in my Mac. -- Tony LaFemina When you want to do more than just buy software http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be April 27.
