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

Good morning Gary and all:

        I'm not sure if this following words are of topic...excuse me if
yes ! : 

        I don't remember knowing about .mht file format to save web site pages.
But when I need to do that I use .html file format that give us a only
one file of the web page with all sourse of it as links for example.

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez
