Saving Web pages
To save a Web page
  1. Go to the Web page you want to save.
  2. Click File, then click Save As.
  3. In the Save As dialog box, choose the location on your hard drive where you want to save the Web page.

Windows

Choose the file type you want to save the page in: Web Page, Complete means that the contents of the page (including any pictures) will be saved into a folder as separate files, similar to those on the server hosting the site; Web Page, HTML only means that only the HTML information will be saved. Both of these two options will enable you to open the file for viewing in Internet Explorer (or any other browser) at a later time. Web Archive means that the page will be saved, along with any images it contains, as a single file. You can view a Web Archive later without being connected to the Internet. The web archive format is not readable by another browser or on another platform (like Macintosh). The Text File option means that only "The Text File option means that only the text (words, characters and symbols) on the page will be saved. This means that the HTML code will be saved, but no formatting (different fonts, styles, colours and so on), graphics or photos will be saved.

You can either rename the page you're saving, or accept the name as given. Choose a location on your hard drive, then click Save.

Macintosh

Choose the format you wish to save the Web page in: Web Archive means that the page will be saved, along with any images it contains, as a single file. You can view a Web Archive later without being connected to the Internet. The web archive format is not readable by another browser or on another platform (like Windows). HTML Source means that the page will be saved with its html format intact, so that you can view it in Internet Explorer (or any other browser) at a later time. Saving this way will not, however, include any pictures or other graphics present. Plain Text means that only the text on the page will be saved, not the html (or any other) formatting. Of the options available, only the Web Archive format saves the images on a Web page; with the other choices, images must be saved separately.

You can either rename the page you're saving, or accept the name as given. Choose a location on your hard drive, then click Save.
