   Is there a way to save a webpage to your hard drive? I was thinking that if you can, it would make sense to save long walk throughs to the computer instead of waiting for them to open each time you need help.

   As always, thanks for your help.

   Hello Terri218,

   Saving a Web Page in Firefox:

   On the Firefox menu bar, click on the File menu and select “Save Page As”. A “Save As” window opens prompting you to select a location on your hard drive for the save. In the “Save As Type” dropdown menu you can choose how you want to save the page:

   “Web Page Complete” - Saves the whole web page along with pictures. This choice allows you to view it as originally shown with pictures, but it may not keep the HTML link structure of the original page. Firefox creates a new directory where the page is saved to save pictures and other files necessary to show the whole web page.

   “Web Page HTML only” - Saves the original page without pictures. This choice preserves the original HTML link structure in one file.

   “Text Files” - Saves the original page as a text file. This choice will not preserve the original HTML link structure, but will allow you to see a text version of the web page in any text editor.

   “All Files” - This is equivalent to "Web Page HTML Only" but you can specify a file extension.

   Click “Save” and you’re done. A copy of the web page will be saved as the type you specified and in the location you chose.

   To Save A Web Page Using Internet Explorer it basically the same procedure:

   -- On the menu bar click “File” then click “Save As”.

   -- Go to the Folder where you want to save your web pages. On my PC I created a new folder on my desktop and named it Offline Web Pages for this very purpose.

   -- In the “File Name” box type a name for the page.

   -- In the “Save As Type” box you can do the following:

   To save all of the files needed to display this page, including graphics, frames, and style sheets, select “Webpage Complete”. This option saves each page in its original format.

   To save all of the information needed to display this page in a single file, click “Web Archive, Single File”. This option saves a snapshot of the current webpage. This option is available only if you have installed Outlook Express 5 or later.

   To save just the current HTML page, click “Webpage, HTML Only”. This option saves the information on the webpage, but it does not save the graphics, sounds, or other files.

   To save just the text from the current webpage, click “Text File”. This option saves the information on the webpage in text format.

   For another option, check out Evernote:

   Here you can save as much or as little of the page as you want, simply by highlighting it. You can also use it to copy stuff from documents, e-mail, etc. or write your own notes and a big advantage is that it is searchable.

   Thanks aRenegade (and Face), it worked. I found a much easier solution to my problem though. All I had to do was click Work Offline and the page stayed on my computer after I closed my dial-up connection. I was FINALLY able to finish Mushroom Age.
