Does anyone ever save - and later, perhaps, print a thread or two here?

If so, how do you do it?

It looks like Management does its best to thwart such efforts.

I can save a thread with SnagIt but each post is gargantuan in size (which makes it arduous to read the posts). And the bloat doesn't lend itself to printing, either.

(SnagIt's a good little app to have — for some folks, anyway. You might want to Google and read up on it if you haven't already. No, I have no connection whatever with the thing. I won a few online Play-Money poker tournaments and captured the winning moments with the app. Then used each as desktop background for awhile. But the clutter always gets to me, so I go back to no background, just plain blue. With pianoi lessons, I no longer have time to play much poker.)

Anyway, how do you save either a thread or even just a particular post?

How to save and read a thread:
* copy the thread you like
* save it in an empty word document
* change the text colour (make it black) and background colour (make it white)
* change the letter type and size (easier to print if the file is smaller)
* delete the parts you don't like or need

It looks like it takes quite some time, but I can assure you, it is a quick way to do it.

How easy! Turns out it's even easier with OpenOffice Writer (as opposed to WORD).

I copied the first teo posts of this thread and pasted them in a blank OO Writer doc. The program itself changed the background to white and the typeface to black! I didn't have to do nuttin', which is what I'm best at.

Thanks very much, nsvppp! Is there a s'il vous plait lurking in your initials? What does the whole thing stand for?  (Unless it's deeply personal, then you can post it and I won't tell anyone.  )

For those of you who might be interested...

OpenOffice is a suite of 6 applications which you might want to try. It's free, and includes Writer, Base, Calc, Math, Impress, and two more. It seems to be modeled after the MS OFFICE suite.

It works just as well in WordPerfect.

Just copy here and paste there - one post or the whole thread. Try it. No color changes needed at all.

Oh. Well, you weren't so very impatient with me. And that was nice of you.

I just copy and paste  everything in notepad.
