Unfortunately, saving webpages is a hit and miss operation, even more so the way it used to be. If necessary, you can take a screenshot. My notes file using WordPad allows the inclusion of pictures. And of course you can bookmark the page and hope it is there when you need it. |

Sometimes pasting into Notepad allows rapid adjustment of text before the final destination. Or open a web page in Acrobat "Create PDF from Web page" and save this as a Word document. |

The web browser renders HTML code. It is not a text editor. Some webpages? That says NOTHING about which web page (give a URL) or what web browser and version of it that you are using. Some web browsers support Reader mode which strips out much of the HTML of a web page (but not all). If the site supports Read View mode then click on the button in the web browser to switch to that view. You could install a PDF printer (emulates a printer but output goes to a ..pdf file) and print the web page to a .pdf file. Open the PDF in whatever PDF viewer you installed and see if it lets you copy the selected text into the Windows clipboard. Some web browsers have a built-in screenshot facility although extensions usually offer more options on how to capture a web page. Some add-ons perform a different "reader mode" by stripping out all context other than text; i.e., you just see the text. You might be able to copy and paste that content as text as long as the HTML code remaining to perform the formatting is not included in the clip. There are clipboard managers that go beyond what the Windows clipboard can do. They can save the clip under different formats: text, HTML, image. You can then pick which to use when you paste elsewhere although the clipboard manager will usually determine what output format to use depending on the program into which the clip gets pasted. Another choice is to stop using the Windows Ctrl+V to paste a clip. If the clip contains HTML, which is likely when copying from a web page, the clip will also contain HTML. If you want to ensure that nothing but text with no formatting gets pasted, there are clipping enhancers to do that (e.g., https://stevemiller.net/puretext/). You could look at the source code of a web page, copy that, and after pasting then edit out all the HTML code. Oh joy. |
