Wanna bet it doesn't open within an IE window? And it doesn't even have the Adobe Acrobat tool bar 1 Maybe that's the cause for our crossed communication. Take a look at these two urls: 1. The item: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=451 98 2. After clicking on "Download Product Manual": http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/manuals.taf?f=form&ItemID=45 198 3. The .pdf file..........in a NEW IE Window: http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals/45000-45999/45198.pdf It certainly is a new window, right? Are you saying this isn't the way it should work? Or is it possible that Harbor programmed their site in a way you haven't seen it work before? Or maybe I've slept too many years <smile>? Or maybe "what we have here is a lack of communication"? Now look at the "Specification Table". What I want to do is highlight it and save it to a file.....like I have always done before. However, I can only copy and paste the text.....even when I select copy with formatting. Looks like this (only part of it shown deliberately: Weight 690 lb. Capacity 6 Cubic Feet Drum Diameter 28" I can use the camera icon and then "paste special" and the entire table will paste into whatever app I'm using. There is an option when I right click in the app I'm using to "Export to File", but as yet I haven't been able to export it into an acceptable file. Try it! That's fine! But, I'm just curious as to why I can't do it the way I did before. So, at this point, it's no big deal and if you folks don't want to spend any more time or bandwith on it, that's fine with me. I have just a touch of an obsessive-compulsive nature <smile>.
