Some sites, not many tho, have a printable version. Gentoo for example has that. Another common type of site, recipes. I've seen a few that don't have printable versions but most do. Other than that, you are correct. This is why I often save a web page, then use copy and paste to put the content in LOo Writer. At that point, I edit the thing until it looks like I want. Most sites, once you know what to remove and where they are, you can edit a page in just a few minutes. Still, web sites seem to want to make using the internet hard or at least annoying. Of course, they know people will surf the internet since there is a ton of info out there. There's not much you can't find if you look hard enough. Dale :-) :-)
