In addition to bryans comments i have had more luck copying from Firefox
browser to OO.o than any other Browser - Word Processor combination. But
you may find using a different browser to copy from works better;
remember Firefox, Opera and Safari are all free and all better browsers
(standards compliance wise) than Internet Explorer.

You will find that your web page is likely fixed width or possibly even
fixed margin width. That causes your issues.
 * Fixed width table based design - Remove outer table (As per Bryans
instructions [start with "Table - Select - Table" to get around nested
table issues])
 * Fixed width div or fixed margin div CSS based design - Look in format
paragraph for indent vales and reset to zero. 

Possible cludge: Reset the page margins outwards, this will only work if
the site is fixed margin CSS.

Second possible cludge: Print Preview in the browser - then copy and
paste. The print formatting may allow the information to go from margin
to margin.

Part time web designer here ;)
