Alright, this is just a quick tip, but I have to put it out there. I've been using Word to re-format framed web content lately (especially if it contains a large amount of advertisements or pesky menus) and noticed something absolutely bizarre today.

When cutting and pasting from IE 6, if you cut and paste from bottom to top instead of from top to bottom the content loads into Word instantly instead of taking a moment and trying to connect to the web site. This does not seem to be true in Firefox. This only really applies if you are cutting and pasting text and images, but it has saved me a considerable amount of time. If anyone else wants to try this I'd be curious to know if it is just my strange computer or one of those Windows "features".
