Is there an easy way to download a thread?

There are so many great threads on this forum and my memory is way to short so I was wondering if there is an "easy" way to download this info?

I normally download to MS Word. I can hit Control A and Control C...then
download it to a MS word file.

But the format is not exactly what I wanted. I would prefer to just download
the text without copying each part of the thread separately.

What would be ideal for me would be to click on each thread I want and copy it to a MS Word file without even having to open the thread.

Anyone found a quick way to do this? Nighthawk Eye or DSM or Brasshopper
or Rested Gal...do YOU do any downloading??

Adobe Acrobat will do it easy enough... well, for the page, not the "thread". Could do the thread too, really, but that would take a bit of setup I think. Is this case the pdfs would be searchable as well, so that's nice. One could always manually go to the nth page in a thread and pdf it, tho. Seeing as how ,ost threads don't surpass one page here, manually should work fine.

With a little setup (just making sure the settings are ok), one could pdf the entire site with just a click

There are open source pdf-esque things out there.

'Course, it'll retain the formatting.
