Computer question
Lame, but...how do you capture/copy a whole page on a website. The right click doesn't work. I need to paste a whole page in a document. MY web guy's out fishing or something.

Thanks.

2. edit : select all

then right click, select 'copy', and paste as normal.

either that, or alt-print screen, and it copies exactly what you see on your screen. you can paste that into a document too.

3. Thanks, but none of this works because
the website has moving graphics so all I get is the headlines of topics. I'll just have to wait it out.

4. Do you just need the text or how a page would look in your browser?

5. You can try this free program
http://www.httrack.com/

HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility.

It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.


Works on some sites, lets you download the full site to your local machine. Might be overkill for what you want but might be worth a try.

7. How about
Print Screen button (sometimes PrtSc or something like that) and then open Microsoft Paint and to a Control-V (or Edit - Paste).
