Re: [libreoffice-users] Converting html into text

Hi :)
I have attached my attempt at this.  It wont get to the list but hopefully it might get to Gary.  


It was a bit of a pain because small chunks needed to be done as columns but then a line or 2 would 
need to be done with no columns (or just 1 column depending on how you look at it).  Also depending 
on font the page-breaks come at inconvient opints so it only seemed to work easily for me if i 
switched View from "Print" to "web-layout"


Regards from
Tom :)  -
