Some topics in the forums contain some very useful information posted by contributors. Is there a way to make a forum topic into a documet? PDF or Word?

Cut & Paste would be my suggestion.

90% of the information is wrong, you have to be selective, so copy-paste is the only way.

Why would you do this? Surely the key benefit of the information being in the forums is that the latest version can always be accessed online.

All any document would need is the URL of the relevent thread or Wiki. smile
