I am trying to copy this website to text.

When I copy and paste into libreoffice the data in the columns is in rectangular boxes that I can not do anything with. How can I put this in text format?
Thanks, Gary

I had partial success trying a piece of it using OpenOffice 3.4.1 Writer. Iit copied the graphic and all of the text (as far as I tried) but it moved some of the second column to the left column, more-or-less in order. You might be able to straighten it out by editing, or if the copy doesn't have to be exact, it might be good enough as is. If you run Windows, you might try in WordPerfect, if you have that. WP is very good at that sort of thing. I don't think Libre can do this, at least not in the version I have. (Using Linux versions of LO and OO, and I think OO is better,
in general.  Maybe LO will catch up some day.
