Getting the text content of a HTML page

[H Baric]

Hi Jacqueline,

Thank you, I tried it this way and it displays it as a page rather than a 
html doc, which is interesting actually! But images and some formatting, as 
well as the embedded stylesheet/css at the beginning still shows up in the 
field.

I don't mind what happens though, it's all so fascinating. With each 
experiment, I'm learning / discovereing new things and that's the main goal 
anyway! :)

Cheers,
Heather ZzZzz

One simple way is:

  set the htmltext of fld <fieldname> to the text of fld <fieldname>

It isn't perfect but it suffices for most things.
