Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing financial report into Write

I've had a couple of replies off list, and with more playing around I 
discovered I can open the html in a browser, copy it there and use Paste 
Special- html code to import it into LO Writer. If there is a better way 
to just import and format as described below I would be happy to know that.
