How To Copy Without
The Clutter! |
|
Tired of all the html "fluff' and codes
that come with copying an item from E-mail or Web pages (or anything else
that has codes in it)? Here's a shortcut:
-
Highlight and copy all
the text you want to copy; (the whole page if you like, but only text will
remain at last)
-
Go to Notepad (via
Accessories, & scroll down to notepad)
Paste into Notepad -- which will strip all codes (note that it strips
graphics and boxes too!!)
-
Then highlight and copy
-
Paste into your word
processor -- save, and ...
Presto! you have plain text without all the clutter

Tired of directing someone to a web
address that is a mile long? |
|
Yes, you can email someone that mile long
hyperlink or you could go to
http://tinyurl.com and paste that mile long
hyperlink into the “MAKE TINYULR” field and make it smaller. |

An example:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?dlc=en&lc=en&os=
181&product=89999&lang=en&cc=us&softwareitem=oj-11474-2
turns into this:

The smaller version is certainly much
easier to instruct over the phone – and – not as messy if you need to paste
it into an email.
