Offline viewing

Vivek Kumar

I browse Web pages and save the home page in the Favourites folder for offline viewing. Normally, the links visited online also work fine while offline. Sometimes, this does not happen and the page, along with the links visited, is not available offline. Please suggest a solution.

When you make a Web page available offline, you can read its content when your computer is not connected to the Internet. For example, you can view Web pages on your laptop computer when you don't have a network or Internet connection. Or you might want to read Web pages at home without tying up a phone line. You can specify how much content you want available - just a page or a page and all of its links - and you can choose how you want to update that content on your computer. If you just want to view a Web page offline and you don't need to update the content, you can save the page on your computer.

There are several ways you can save the Web page, from just saving the text, to saving all of the images and text needed to display that page as it appears on the Web.

To make the current Web page available offline 1. On the Favorites menu, click Add to Favorites. 2. Select the Make available offline check box. 3. To specify a schedule for updating that page, and how much content to download, click Customize. 4. Follow the instructions on your screen.

Note: Before you go offline, make sure you have the latest version of your pages by clicking the Tools menu and then clicking Synchronize.

To make an existing Favorite item available offline 1. On the Favorites menu, click Organize Favorites. 2. Select the page you want to make available offline. 3. Select the Make available offline check box. 4. To specify a schedule for updating that page, and how much content to download, click Properties. Make your choices, click Apply, and then click OK.
