The way I do it is to print the articles to a .PDF converter like Win2PDF (http://www.win2pdf.com/download/download.htm) that installs a printer driver to which you can print anything you could have printed to a regular printer. The free version has a popup dialog but given the usefulness, is a small price to pay for the convenience.
This way you get it in a format that is platform independent but maintains the formatting and layout. An additional benefit is that you get the complete URL in the footer which you can easily copy+paste into a browser to get the latest update of the article on the web. I use this Web=>PDF technique on most articles I find on the web, especially the ones with nice charts and graphics, as saving them to disk sometimes do not include all those pretty pictures...:-) -f -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 8:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The grueling method is... grab the header, copy paste it into notepad.exe. That strips the weird formatting out of it. Grab the body text, but not all the way down, try to guess where the body text frame ends and stop just before that. It may take a few tries to find exactly where. copy paste into Wordpad.exe. Hehehe.. amazing what we have to go through. An easier method I use it to view source - then chop out any erroneous html and "save as" mydoc.html Then you can view the html and copy out nicely... That's my workaround bob -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Bob Metelsky INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
