HOW TO SAVE WEB PAGES AND READ THEM OFFLINE
Q.
I use dialup access. 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 any more than necessary, or have to connect to the Website every time. Besides, some pages change. 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.
An alternative that often works well is to highlight the text you want to save, copy it, paste it into a word processor, then save that as a file.
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:
You could accept the suggested name, but it's often preferable give it a descriptive name so
that it's easily recognizable later on.
- Location:
You must choose where in your computer's file structure
the file will be saved.
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 Start | All Programs | Accessories | Windows Explorer, or open My
Computer.)
