Try Lynx "Save As >Text" from Netscape, from Mosaic, etc. I heard of another such tool just >today...I can find out its name if you are interested. Netscape does a good job of preserving tables. IE does a dreadful job:-( On Unix platforms the "save as" functionality is exposed for automation. On Windows we could not dig it out of the Netscape OLE docs. We ended up using good old SendKeys() which did the trick. The W3 mode in Emacs is also capable of knocking out reasonable text only tables from HTML.
