Default RE: Saving RC Universe threads for future reference

This is what I have done since the late 90's: I block copy the main thread body to avoid having to down load website headers and all of the junk on the bottom of the screen. Paste it all into a word document. You do get all of that extra personal stuff that guys put in... their pet picture and sayings, etc.do


On shorter threads I strip out all of the extra stuff by:
1. Edit, Select All, .........click on Table, Convert, Convert Text to Table, then..........Convert Table to Text.,
Then while the whole file is still highlighted (Selected) Normalize the font, click on TImes New Roman, and 12 pitch.

This still leaves me with guy's picutres and "sayings" which I have to invidually block copy and hand delete.

Its work, but I have lots of info saved over the years. As far as pictures I have to click on each one while on the NET and the separately copy the enlargement down to it's place on my WORD document.

I give each word document a name that I can sort on later such as any thing having to do with paint, I start with PAINT, with LIPO safety, I start with LIPO Safety, with flying the "Waterfall" I start wtih Waterfall, with the Hanagar 9 Showtime I start with ...well you get the idea.

I have separate folders such as Radio Topics, Engines, Specific AIrcraft, Aerobatic Maneuvers, on and on.

The monster strings on speicifc aircraft are hard to keep up with ........it can get to be 200 pages, etc.
