web page copy problem

[acorn71]

Hello,

I am a PC user who recently purchased a MacBook to do video editing
and I love it! I do have a problem, however, getting Mac Word to paste
web content the way it's displayed on the web page. I have guitar tab
on a web page that has a lot of carriage returns that are important,
however when I paste the text into Word I get one single paragraph of
text. Going and manually entering carriage returns is not an option
because it takes way too long when I'm pasting 20 songs that are 2-3
pages each. I have searched the web and cannot find a fix for this but
I know there has to be one. This procedure works just fine in Word for
the PC.

Thank you for you help!

Aaron

Never mind. Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text did the trick.
Strange, but glad it works!

FYI, this is the same menu command as in the Windows version of Word to
do same.
