I wanted to copy a bio that I found on Google search, but it would not come through, then Firefox shut down. This happened 3 time before I gave up. Anyone have an explantion?

P.S. I suppose you could print the page the bio is on, but then you'd have to manually type it into the description.

Sanmar: I just successfully copied this from a Google page. Perhaps you tried to copy something that has a copyright on it? And somehow the codes won't let you copy??

Save the webpage to you PC then you should be able to copy what you want if there is a problem through foxfire?? Open it with IE instead. I think you can open webpages in word or frontpage.

You might want to use Pure Text, which strips formatting and other unprintables from text you've copied to your paste buffer.

Hmmm. I think Firefox is trying to tell you something. Unless I'm mistaken, there are pretty stringent laws these days on downloading copyrighted materials, unless you have either permission to do so, or have paid a fee to use the material.

I haven't found a thing I can't copy off web regardless of their scripts or anything else trying to stop us. if one browser won't do it another one probably will. Also in IE you can go to file at top and if you have set your preferences for an html editor you choose Edit with Word, Front page or other html editor you have chosen.
More than one way to skin a cat. IF you do use it in an auction try to edit it a lot make it your own.
