This is my site for links to Genuine Free Stuff as well as some useful advice. I use most of these programs regularly.
I have included pictures of these programs running on my computer. It's good gear. It's all worth having. Enjoy. Si.

The site is organised with 10 or so major posts at the start, with daily Genuine Free tips on top of that.

Genuine Free Tip - How to save website text only, using a Text Document

Here's my latest hint - and a very useful and simple tip it is too.

I often want to save only the text on a web page, but find it is full of complicated fonts and images as well.
I create a Text Document on my desktop or in some convenient folder.

Here I have right clicked on my desktop to bring up my context menu.
(Incidentally, you can alter your right click context menu using TweakUI.)

I will use a page of my site as an example.
Here I have typed CTRL A to highlight All on the web page.
Then I right click on part of that highlighted text and Copy.

I then go to my Text Document and Paste.

Easy peasy - all the text WITHOUT formatting, fonts or images.
You will find this a very helpful tip, so don't forget it.

Cheers. Si.
