This is probably more a question about internet explorer....

There is a very large document of 100s of pages on a website that I want to copy and paste into a word document.

I know on word you can press SHIFT+CTL+END to highlight an entire document but how do I do that on internet explorer. I know you can use the mouse to highlight the document which is fine for a couple of lines but not when text is equivalent to hundreds of pages!

Hope you can help!

Try edit - select all, edit copy, and paste into the new document.

choose paste special - select text only and edit out the rest of the text you do not want.

Word tip:

Table Headers on Subsequent Pages

To make sure that your tables if they carry on to subsequent pages have a Table header on each page.
Select the rows at the top of the table which you would like to repeat on subsequent pages, select Table, Heading Rows Repeat. Note this does not work if you insert a hard page break (CTRL+Enter)
