[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 701862, member: 24098"] I'm not familiar with that particular application - but not sure if you're aware of this: One of the cool things that Mac OS can do is this - highlight a bunch of text in a browser window. Then click and drag the text over to an open Finder window (or even the desktop). Release the mouse button and you'll find that Mac OS has created a text file with the content you just dragged. The same goes for images on webpages. I'm not sure if this is precisely what you're looking for, but have you seen Automator? Automator is kind of like a Macro program, but it can automate frequently performed actions for a whole host of different programs. It should be in your Applications folder. A good tutorial is available [URL="http://www.screencastsonline.com/index_files/SCO0146-automator.php"]here[/URL]. I'm surprised as that is one of the more popular apps out there. Well, I switched in December of '06 - and I have to say that most of the good programs I've found have come from here - you'll be surprised at what you can find just by doing a quick search. I'd also recommend [URL="http://www.macworld.com"]Macworld[/URL] magazine. Macworld also has a "Mac Gems" [URL="http://www.macworld.com/newsletters/index"]newsletter[/URL] that they send out that often profiles their favorite bits of Mac free and shareware. [/QUOTE]
