I only copied webpage information for the link that you provided - that pastes just fine. I believe that you are attempting to copy all of this link: <http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=1276&layout=html> Again I do not copy the sidebar information, and paste into Writer. This gives me a 123 page doc (standard paste), or 114 page doc (html paste) depeding on how I paste it - viewed in "Print Layout". The only problem that I have is pasting some of the characters on the page show up as squares: 41 šum-ma mâr-šu 42 ṣi-ḫi-ir-ma - the "ḫ" shows up as a square, but that is easily fixed by changing my font in OOo to DejaVu Sans. However, instead of copy & pasting, why don't you just do a wget (or gwget) of the html page. You can then reliably open with anything that will open html. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
