Hi Jezebel,
If I'm reading you correctly, you saying its not just a simple matter of
copy/paste. I'd need to work out what is text and what references there are
to any bitmaps, table, etc. and locate these and work out how to include
them in the document.
Thanks to a VB code library, I can now write the HTML from a web page to a
document. The first page currently has 1507 lines and includes numerous
bjects and links. I see what you mean about the fun starting!! I'm not I can
stand that much fun just yet <g>.
