Use a text-only browser maybe? Used to be something called "lynx" that did text only display of websites, but I'm not sure if it is capable of displaying a modern website. Anyway it is a text only browser that is run from the command window (DOS prompt).

Some other text only browsers:

Otherwise, you can copy and paste; select the desired text in your web browser, copy it, then paste into a text editor or word processor.

    Sorry. There isn't any plain text format available for printing.

    I used to use Lynx back in the early 90's when at school . . . thanks for the reminder, Steve. That said, this site would definitely not function if viewed with a text browser.

    The old copy/paste method is the best I can think of....

    Or simply bookmark the page you're interested in coming back to.
