That has saved me frustration many times when browser submit buttons go funky. I copy the empty form into a Word document and then, question by question, I paste my answers in. Several times, I've been able to write to a website and say, your form is broken but here are my answers.

But my favorite solution is Evernote.  Especially if you're crafting a blog, if you write all the postings in Evernote first, then you have a complete record of the blog in Evernote.
