RE: [amibroker] Method to Copy Russell files

Looks like Duke fixed you up.
 
But just to follow up on what I was saying:
 
on my browswer I've got this set of icons on the toolbar:
 

 
The hand is the one the mouse defaults to and is used for moving the doc
around.  To the right is the Select icon and if you clic that one it turns
the mouse into a text cursor (bar) that you can use the select the text by
clicking the left mouse and holding it down and draging it.
 
An even quicker way is to leave the toolbar be and just click Ctrl-A and it
will select all of the text on all of the pages. Then you just copy it using
ctrl-c and paste it into whatever you'll be using to clean it up.

Thanks d
I didn't find the key to change the mouse to text but I did use File/Save as
Text...
Same thing?
If so , I still gotta go through getting rid of extra stuff like company
names, headers, disclaimers, page numbers. This I've done in past by
importing txt file to excel and manually cleaning up. Then since AB won't
recogize an excel type file, right ? ,  I cut and past the tickers back to
text file.
Now I can import.
Probably making the tuffer'n it is.

The key is to change the mouse to the text select tool then you can use that
to copy/paste out of the pdf.

I'm trying to copy the various Russell files, in PDF format,  into AB. I've
forgotten how I did it last year. I believe it needs to be changed to TXT
file to import into AB. Can someone outline the steps.  PDF to Txt to Excel
..  Clean  up tickers in Excel back to Txt then import to AB?
 
I'm probably complicating this but my old brains cells seem a bit fuzzed up!
 
Thanks
