Re: [libreoffice-users] copying text with formatting from a web page

Hi :)
So Microsoft's Internet Explorer only plays well with Microsoft Office?
Err, is there any surprise there?

Have you tried with other web-browsers?  Internet Explorer often seems to
be a pos imo and ime.  Each release of it seems to have a load of different
'issues' handling internationally agreed standards (yes, Microsoft ARE
involved in setting those standards!).  So websites sometimes have to write
extra code specifically aimed at certain versions of IE.  At best IE seems
to behave more like a trojan as it's so often found to have remarkable
security issues.  MS usually put out at least 1 or more security patch per
fortnight to deal with some critical problem or other.

Please, please, please try Chrome, Safari, Opera, or anything else.  Even
Firefox's worst releases appear to be better than IE.  There are a huge
range of web-browsers available for free and quite easy to download and
install.

Personally i would probably paste anything off a website as plain-text and
then add back the formatting myself.  There are a few websites i kinda
trust but in general i'd try to avoid risking pulling dodgy formatting and
what-ever else across into another program/app.

Sorry for the tone here!  Good luck with all this!
Many apols sand regards from
Tom :)
