Can't CutnPaste

I went to a website (top-secret recipes) and wanted to copy the latest
recipe to my hard drive. When I right click on it.. nothing happens. I
believe it is macromedia. I remember something about this a number of days
ago here.. but didn't take note of it at the time.

Short of going to a different browser or ??? , is there a simple solution?

One of the things I tried was to Print to File. When I looked at the file
it was gibberish. Nothing I have on my computer would read it properly..
Tried Word, Adobe, Notepad.

Thanks for any help

Try Edit\Select All\Copy, then paste it where you want it ??.

=================================
You can do it with Print Screen but
you will have to do it in sections.

You can't copy and paste from a Shockwave item.

Best thing is Print screen or shift printscreen, then paste in your
favorite word processor or image program and print from there. But it
will be a image, not text.

You could try "printscreen" on sections of the page and copy to paint or
wordpad.

Ok, so you tried print screen. Then you opened a word processor or a
image manipulation program, and pasted.

What part failed?
