RE-Cut and Paste Langa Page
Mark, using Netscape© Communicator 4.51, I can't cut and paste anything from the Langa page--

Saving the net page (using the Netscape File/Save) as a .txt file, I got the following--

Saving the net page (using the Netscape File/Save) as a .doc file, I got the actual text of the file along with the extra formatting that you want to remove.
Whether I save the net page as .txt or .doc, I don't get the clean file copy that Gottfried gets. Maybe he's using a different version of Netscape than I am.
You can strip out most of the garbage formatting by using a free tool like Notemaid.exe.
However, when I use Notemaid.exe to remove the garbage formatting symbols, and I paste the remaining file into a .doc or .txt file, the remaining file format is slightly messed up (the individual lines are not left-aligned), like so--

The Internet is a two-way street. Just as it?s easy for you to
connect to other sites, it also may be easy for others -- for hackers -- to connect to your PC. In fact, by
default, many PCs are set up with truly awful online security settings that can leave the door to your system and
your hard drive unlocked and wide open! The more time you spend online, the greater the odds that someone
will indeed try to crawl back through your Internet connection to get inside your PC. And if a hacker finds a
weakness or a security flaw in your setup, he or she can launch a full-blown attack that can cause trouble

Actually, the alignment problem is not shown when I post this file on the SI page.
