      Is there a way to test what a page would look like in Google "Text Only" version before a page is indexed in Google?  Is there a tool out there to help with this?

        I bet if you have Webmaster Tools setup and you run a "fetch as Googlebot" this will get you what you need. You'll have the header response info in there too, but you'll see how Google will view all the source HTML.

          Thanks Dan, that works.  We were having some issues because our advertising page skin was blocking all of the written content on our pages.  When the pages got cached in google and you clicked "text only", there was no text there because the page skin was blocking it.  Just fetched as googlebot thought and all text seems to come through now, but we'll se what happens when the pages get indexed.

          Thanks!
