I thank everyone for their hearty endorsements of Leopard (I will upgrade at some point soon, I'm sure) and their recommendations for work-arounds. In fact, I am able to save the web pages as PDFs, though I don't care for the way it creates so many pages, and I can also save as an .html file which can then be opened in Safari offline and copy/pasted into a text file, etc.
But I was seeking to understand the mechanism of what is going on, i.e. why and/or how formatting info is prevented from being copied (or, if that is the more usual situation, why Safari allows it). I would be interested in knowing, too, if copy/paste has the same limitations with these other browsers in Leopard, if any of you care to do a quick test.
