Problem copying questions and answers

[stewey]

Now again, I want to get a print-out of a particular thread. I press the left mouse button and highlight the questions and answers, and then press the right button and select copy. Then I go to Word Pad and select paste. After every question, where "Report This Answer" is, I get an explanation of what that feature is for. How can I just get a print-out with just the questions and answers that does not contain all these explanations of "Report This Answer"?

If you click on View/Source from your browser and locate the "Report this answer" section, you will find that it is associated with a hidden form which contains the extra info. Word pad is not capable of hiding the form so it will appear in the document. If you paste into Word of OpenOffice instead you will find that the extra info does not appear, but you do get a live URL instead. This is, of course easier to delete.

The only way I can see round it is to highlight the text of each answer individually and copy and paste them separately into your document.

Maybe someone else has a better suggestion?

Sorry, should have been "Word OR OpenOffice"

Rojash, I think you are right: do each answer individually. It's a little tedious, but if it's a good thread which I want to show somebody it's worth the time...........Thanks!

Hi
I often do this by highlighting the text then right click, choose print then selection then print. Not sure why you would want to involve word pad when you can print straight away. Perhaps I'm missing something if so I apologise, but hope this helps.
