Using WordPad – Pro and Con
PRO: In both Netscape and Internet Explorer, if you
use an IBM compatible computer with Windows 95 or greater, you can copy
the entire text of the web page into a WordPad document and then enlarge
the text as much as you like.
CON: Copying a web page into WordPad usually loses
column formatting and displays the entire page as one continuous column.
Only the text is copied. You lose graphics and links that can be used
to go to other web pages.
