Now that helps a LOT. It works just like it used to work. Very fast |
| 81 |
too. It took maybe one to two seconds and it was done. Everything is |
| 82 |
there too. |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
It takes a long while to compile LOo but I'm going to try disabling java |
| 85 |
just to see if that helps. I'm not sure what all the page contains but |
| 86 |
here's a link to the page I just tested this with. It's not like it is |
| 87 |
some super secret site or anything. |

It looks like plain stuff to me but I have no idea what is going on |
| 92 |
behind the scene. Maybe some others will enjoy that site. It has some |
| 93 |
good info and they add stuff pretty regular. |
| 94 |

Thanks much. It's a workaround but at least I can get them copied and |
| 96 |
printed now. ;-) |
