Hello. I'm using apache open office. It's a good and usefull product.
I need to see if I can get your assitance with a
challenge I'm having with it.
As I've been using a dated ( but still working) version of microsoft
word, I've gotten used to being able to copy/paste text from web pages
( bypassing images) and I end up-what I see is what I get.
When I attempt to do this with open office, I end up getting a
version that shows the pasted product in "Cell" form rather than just
text. I end up deleting rows, unwanted headers,etc. A wearysome job.
Can I change what seems to be a default behavior so when I copy
paste it just gives the text without the behind the scenes cell view???
Thanks for the assist.

Bruce,
Did you try Paste-Special from the Edit menu (Ctrl-Shift-V)?
I just tried it and it pops up a list of types and "Unformatted text" is
one of them. In fact, it appears to be the default. My test from a web
page with pictures resulted in plain text without the frames or whatever
they are.
HTH.
