Forum: texts Subject: problem viewing plain text files

In my collection
archive.org/uspatentssingledocuments
I have some folks tell me that when they click on "full text" they have to do a lot of scrolling to the right to be able to read the file, but when they select the all files HTTP link and select the text file from the directory, the reading is much easier. You can compare
archive.org/details/UnitedStatesPatent171
Cllick on "full text," view what comes up, and then go into the directory and select USP171.txt. Is there a difference in the views? What can I do to make the "full text" version easier to read? Jeff, can you somehow remove the 
 HTML tags from this collection? Someone suggested it to me. Thank you for your help.
