Sometime I have seen first paragraphs of the article which I can't clip, the rest of the paragraphs clips okay, it usually happens at bbc sites. I will wait to see what CM has in store for us with their forthcoming upgrade of clipping tool, I hate to gather up FF extensions if there are workarounds from original source, but I will give this a quick try. Thanks

Yeah, I see, I see. The new Clipmarks Extension... I'm sure it will be great. Like always. CM Team rules the universe!

Thanks funana. We have come a long way with the paragraph recognition, but obviously it's not perfect yet. I will do some digging into this tool to see if they know something I don't...
