Or is it because I use Win2K that I'm having trouble?

I could try copying from an ASCII file to see if it makes a difference,
instead of a web page.
While I don't recall it being in a frame.... it might have been the case.

Rich people. Sheesh! ;-) I couldn't afford a first generation IBM PC. In
fact I didn't get a DOS/Win3.1 machine until 1996 and even that was a hand
me down.
So the only time I dealt with a ROM-based BASIC was with an Atari 800XL
(don't laugh). But it sounds like you're either older than me or have been
more heavily involved in computers (or both).

That has not (yet) been a problem, but rather, pasting text and having it
disappear after the first page in OOo Writer.

NoteTab Pro (NTP) 5.7b works great for me - as a text editor - and I use it
all the time. However it's not quite as helpful at copying text off the net
except for the bare HTML code.

I don't recall the differences between this and NTL since it's the
simplified (yet often effective) freeware version.

PS that's something I also have to consider if and when I switch to Linux.
