Hi :) I have attached my attempt at this. It wont get to the list but hopefully it might get to Gary.
It was a bit of a pain because small chunks needed to be done as columns but then a line or 2 would need to be done with no columns (or just 1 column depending on how you look at it). Also depending on font the page-breaks come at inconvient opints so it only seemed to work easily for me if i switched View from "Print" to "web-layout" Regards from Tom :) - >________________________________ > From: Gary Montalbine <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2012, 22:29 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Converting html into text > > > >On 11/28/2012 04:47 PM, Gary Montalbine wrote: >> >> >> On 11/28/2012 04:13 PM, Jay Lozier wrote: >>> On 11/28/2012 03:43 PM, Gary Montalbine wrote: >>>> >>>> On 11/28/2012 03:36 PM, Minix wrote: >>>>> Try pasting with Ctrl+Shift+V, selecting "Unformatted Text". >>>> >>>> I tried this.
