Thanks.

I'd been there, but I found a simple 'highlight, copy and paste') eg to 
a Word document or Wordpad) produced a bit of a mess. However, I've now 
found that if you select the 'Copy text to clipboard' box instead, then 
use Paste Special to allow HTML text, then use landscape and a size 6 
font, it's a lot clearer (and should be easier to edit and sort out). 
Actually, pasting to Excel also looks promising.

Thanks again.
