I am using LO 3.6.3 on Linux Mint 13I am now at the point where the data is copied into Write and kate. How ever I do not have the 2 columns.

Hi.The html uses divs and styles that seem to paste into LO as I would expect but not as would have been as simple as if the html was in a table. With a little adjustment of the frames the look is very similar to the web site. You can inset a section and define 2 columns then past your text a section at a time without formatting into these sections. Alternatively you could insert 2 frames in LO and paste the columns without formatting into the appropriate frames. You could also insert a table and paste the information into the cells.
