HOW TO SAVE WEB PAGES AND READ THEM OFFLINE
Q.
Some Web pages have lots of information that I'd like to be able to read
at leisure & refer to later. I don't want to tie up my phone line while
reading them, or have to connect to the Website every time just to see
them. What can I do?
A. Most Web pages will save to your computer as an html file and
a folder of its contents, both with the same name. All you need to do
to see the page later is to double-click on the filename. For pages
whose content changes frequently (such as online newspapers), it may be
the only way to be sure you can access the item again.
Q.
How do I save Web pages?
A.
When viewing a Web page while connected, in the Menu Bar click File | Save
As. You'll then be prompted to select a name and location
for the file.
- Name:
When naming the file, you could accept the suggested name, but it's often
preferable give it a descriptive name yourself so that it's easily
recognizable later on. If you rename the file later, it may be difficult
to view the page properly.
- Location:
When saving pages, you must choose where in your computer's file structure
the file will be saved. You can create new folders & subfolders as you
wish, naming them whatever you want.
Don't place document files in folders along with program
files. Instead, create special folders for saved files - within the "My
Documents" folder, or in a special "Downloads" folder.
When you save a Web page, you save only the page you're viewing.
Linked pages will not be saved.
Q. How do I view a Web page while offline?
A. Browse to the location of the file using Windows Explorer,
then double-click the filename. If a dialup connection pops up,
just cancel it.
Windows Explorer is not the same as Internet Explorer - Windows Explorer
shows the structure and contents of your disks. To start the program,
click the Start button, point to Programs, then click Windows Explorer.
