Here's one thought. With Firefox (--I'm using 3.5--), go to the site, and then highlight the part you want. You might be able to copy and paste that into a Word Processor, but there's a good chance that won't work out too well.

So try this instead, after selecting the part you want, right click and choose "View Selection Source". Copy the HTML code it gives there into your favorite text editor. Precede with:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>

follow with:

Code:

</body></html>

Save it as an HTML file, and open it in a browser to see how it looks.

You might lose some formatting. If it's important, go back to the page, and look at the full web page source (Ctrl-U in Firefox), find the parts that look like:

<link rel="stylesheet" ... type="text/css">

and copy them into your new .html file between the <head> </head> parts. Make sure the full URL for the CSS file is in the href="..." part. Save again.

Worth a shot.
