I am updating my French Marianne collection and would like to use
information from the website: http://www.abelard.org/france/marianne.php The problem is the pages are black background. I have not been able to change the background to white. Does anyone know how to do this? Copy and paste to a document does not work. Thanks, Ralphael, the OLD one |

Just for testing purposes, I have copy-pasted some text from this page to Notepad (and then immediately deleted the whole). Of course, you will need a permission to use it, because it is (implicitly and explicitly) copyrighted. -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

G'day Ralphael,
you would do yourself a service be having a small suite such as MSWorks, or Free office for these sorts of jobs. Open the page Edit / select all Edit / copy open your word processor page of choice Edit / paste special / unformatted text. You can pick up a copy of MSWorks version 4.5a for abut $5 that gives you a "kindergarten" style Word processor / spreadsheet / database that's a whizz to operate. "Ralphael1" wrote in message ...

Is "open office" a genuine "suite"? can you acess db,wp, and ss seamlessly? Is the database a "flatfile" database? MSWorks has 154 fields, 32,000 records, open office? I am curious........that is, if you are au fait with finer points of the program.. thanks. "Joshua McGee" OpenOffice.org (that's the name and the website) has a *free* office suite that is IMO just as good, if not better, than M$'s. |

If you paste directly into an HTML editor, it's fine. FrontPage 2002 seems to hiccup on the page as well when pasted. Of course that's also a Microsoft product. Bill |

Bill I tried making a PDF out of the page and it turned the background white and printed it pretty much like it showed in the browser. I user Primo PDF to print it to the PDF. I'll send you the copy that I printed if you like. Jim |
