Copying from Fanfiction.net

[suse60.livejournal.com]

Maybe shouldn't be asking this here but I will delete if not appropriate. Someone recommended a fic that is on fan fiction.net. I always copy the stories I read to make it a Word Doc and then put it on my Kindle. I can never seem to copy text from that site. Is there a secret to this does anyone know? Any advice is truly appreciated.

Thank You all for your suggestions. I will definitely find one that works for me. Everyone is always so helpful on this site. You Rock!
Just wanted to add I used the FicSave site and it worked perfectly. Thank You all again.

Great Tip!

Thanks for this tip! I've just been trying it...and it works!!! I'm finding that even if I start highlighting (tho not showing in blue) in the 1st paragraph of the fic, up thru the A+ A- line (the only part, along with chapter selection, that shows blue highlighting), the whole chapter (thru the last word) will still paste in.
This is great. Thank you so much for sharing this.

With further experimentation I'm finding that in highlighting, while scrolling up, the 1st thing that shows up in blue is enough for it to work. For me, in a multi chapter fic, it's the 'Next' button (to the right of the chapter selection box). This way, the whole list of chapters (& the A+, A-, etc) doesn't get copied & pasted in.

p.s. for some reason ?? the A+, A- & 'fonts' line is showing as some kinda Chinese symbols for me right now. The width, spacing & contrast as empty square boxes...but they all still work for their purpose & say what they are in english when I hover the cursor over them.

The paragraph thing works that will save me a bit of time, thanks.

I did forgot to mention sometimes the formatting can be a little fickle.

Occassionally when I go to paste a command box error saying "This is not a valid selection". I use Microsoft office which has 3 pasting options, if that happens use the 3rd option. The 1st & 2nd wont work.
