Copy web page

[KenHigg]

Anyone have an idea how to copy an entire web page that scrolls off the bottom of the screen?

Thanks -

copy or screenshot?

what you can do is view the source and copy and paste that into your own document

I need to copy (I guess a screen shot ?) a long page and paste it to a large plotter size page so we can hang it on the wall for reference purposes. I did the drill where I copy pcs and paste them all back together again but it doesn't look real good and is a pain...

 

[rainman89]

what about changing your screen resolution to try to fit the whole page on it?

OR try print preview and shrink the size down and print to a pdf or something then blow it up later??

other than that i dont think there is another way to do it without pasting them together

 

[KenHigg]

Thanks - The screens are still to big for my max res and the print preview thing kind of distorts the way the web page looks... Hum....

I have a program called 'Snag-it' and it has an auto-scroll option that I think is supposed to do what I need but it has me bum-fuzzeled at the moment -

 

[KenHigg]

Just noticed, you already have it!

Thanks Giz - I have ver 4 I think and for some reason it will copy some extended windows but it won't do a web page...

Guess I'll have to get ver 8 -

btw - Snag it is a great app.!!

How about select all on website and copy and then "paste special" into ms word and pick HTML Format.

 

[KenHigg]

Good idea - But I tried it and it came out all sliced up...

Thanks for the suggestion. Snagit v8 does what I need and has some other really neat features, think I'll go that route.

Not sure if this may help, but when you're on a website, there is a feature to
"merge" the site to word.
In IE explorer, go to File > edit with MS Word.
Once done you can modify bits and pieces to your own needs.

Hth

Thanks rak I didn't know that. I tried that as well and I may be doing something wrong but it still goes into Word a bit skewed from what the actual page looks like in the browser.

a bit skewed from what the actual page looks like

Now that's an understatement.


I know it's not very elegant Ken, but for me it did the trick with some sites.

 

[KenHigg]

Cool Giz... Did you do that with new version of snagit?

 

[neileg]

Pardon me if this is dumb, but can't you just print the webpage from your browser? Providing you've got the printer/plotter installed and the appropriate paper size selected, can't you just hit Print?

 

[KenHigg]

Thanks for the suggestion Neil,

That does something to the page like a print format and skews some things around... I wanted it to print exactly like it appears on the screen -

OK, just wondered
