To copy the text [only] of any page, start your mouse cursor @ the Top Left, press down your Right Finger, ["Drag"] hold-down and pull the mouse cursor toward the bottom of the viewed page and then slightly below the window - this will speed it up - the further out you go - to a point where it will stop. The screen automatically start scrolling down, and will turn blue for whatever will copy. To stop or slow this process down [while still holding down the mouse button], move the mouse cursor back inside or toward the inside of the window. While it is inside and stopped, release the mouse button carefully, and on the keyboard, hold down a Ctrl key and press C; Open a blank text document, go to it with your mouse cursor and click. The Blinking cursor should now be in your document. Press Ctrl-V [- hold down the Ctrl key and press [once] V]. Whatever was highlighted in blue will magically appear in the text box of your open Document. Go to the line top line of the document, enter a new line, go up and type in a title, like,"KAF BreadRecipe020815_French"; go to the right, hold down the shift key and left-arrow 'till it stops or press Home. Let go of the keys. Press Ctrl-C again, Save as; when it opens where you want to save it, press Ctrl-V [your title will appear]- and then Enter - Voila - a copy; Edit out whatever you don't want, or captured in error or excess, keep what you like, then print it. If you have Windows 7 or 8, you can use the snipping tool to make a box around whatever you want to keep as a picture, as well. You can't edit it, it is not text, just a screen shot of whatever you put into the red box before letting the mouse button go. Hope this helps and wasn't too long - it's not as difficult as it sounds - please try it. Frank If you have Windows 8 and can't do these things, they are done in the desktop aperature. To make this process extremely easy and quick, you can search for the Snipping tool, when it opens, go down on the bottom line of your screen to the glowing [Looks like a little drum with a pair of scissors on it] in-use ICON and Add it to the Taskbar from the right click on the ICON; the same can be done in advance for the Notepad [find it first]; try saving the blank document as anyname and see where it is saved to, so you may find it later - if you don't already know. Man - I didn't realize how involved this sounds - but if learned, it will provide you with spectacular way or ways to save information, other than typing it out tediously and error-prone "long hand".
