Hi Heather, Welcome to the Revolution and please don't feel bad about asking questions. It's great when people ask beginner level questions as I think a lot of beginners don't like to ask and so get discouraged. Your script for getting the contents of a web page is perfect. For transforming that to plain text, there is a trick which may work if the web page is not too complex. Try this: put url "http://www.thePage.com"; into thePage set the htmlText of the templateField to thePage put the text of the templateField into field "The Page" Cheers, Sarah _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
