On the above method, once you Make it ASCII, there is no way of returning it to
"rtf"!  So you will lost all easier viewing formats in the file.  My suggestion
here is: 

After paste the Web-page into an Edit.app's rtfd document, save it then goto
Workspace , select the saved rtfd-file-icon and <Alt+shift+O> or
<Command+Shit+O> to open it as a folder.  Inside the folder you can find a
TXT.rtf which has all text of the Web-page you just saved.  So you can view both
rtfd and text file any time as you wish!
