II need help copying something to a floppy?

Question

I dont have the internet at my place and the file I copied wants to take me to the website. I wanted to try cut and paste. I was going to place the information I wanted into a new folder and then copy it to a floppy however when I click on EDIT the words cut and paste are inactive. Heres a little more information: I have already placed the website into the favorites. I know how to "select all" and then send it to a floppy. I am not completely computer illeterate but close enough that I cant figure this one out. I also know many of you out there no longer use floppy disks but I have a buttload of them. I just want to copy words-no pictures, nothing animated or anything like that.. This should be simple enough to figure out but alas! It is not for me. So, any geeks or computer nerds out there who might lend assistance. I say geeks and nerds with no sarcasm intended. I wish I was one myself but anyway I'm sure there is some one out there who can help . thanks to any and all.

ahh mr injanier you did it thank you so much...a simple problem but it was making me crazy. the force is strong with you. I made it a wordpad text document. I need to learn these little tips and tricks. Thank you so very much, I am impressed

The copy option will be grayed out in the browser menu unless you have already selected the text. You can also do a Save as -> Web page only to get just the text in a file you can display in your browser.

The above won't work on flash pages or other images. You may also have to turn off Javascript to copy from the page. In Firefox, it's Tools -> web developer -> disable -> disable Javascript. In IE, you have to go into the custom levels box under Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and disable "Active scripting".
