Saving entire Web page

When a Web page is opened the information sought generally contains images too.

If the Web page is saved, these images are eliminated. If we save information in Word file then too images don’t get copied. Is there a way to save information along with the images?

Vasant Damle We can save a Web page or the content of a Web page in different ways, with different options.

To save an entire Web page (File-Save as), in Internet Explorer, four Save as types are available. 1. Web page, complete 2. Web Archive, Single file (*.mht) 3. Web Page, HTML only 4. Text file.

If you select “Web page, complete” it saves one html file and one folder that contains the Web page images and other files. If you select “Web Archive, single file” it saves all the components (images, text etc.) in a single .mht file. This fulfils your requirement. The next option “Web page, HTML only” will save only html file with no images. The last type “Text file” only saves the text of the page.

Some Web sites will not allow you to save the Web content. In this case, you may save the entire page as an image (such as jpg format) by using webpage capture software. Here are some such software available as freeware:

webpage capture 3.2 (Size 448KB). This is an easy to use add-on to Internet 6 or 7 and easily accessible from the browser’s toolbar. It allows you to take a snapshot of the complete Web page as image instead of HTML.

By clicking on the webpage capture icon on the toolbar, an image of the entire webpage will be captured and stored in the folder you select. The free version stores files in windows bmp file format. Other formats are available in the upgrade version. You can download this from http://www.endicosoft.com/webpagecapture.php

Webcollect Toolbar 3.2 (Size 2.01 MB) This freeware allows you to capture an entire Webpage — even the portion you must scroll to see — with just one click of a button. You may copy selected portions of a Web page as either rectangular or custom shapes. You may magnify portions of a webpage. It supports more options and more file type to save the web page, such as jpg, pdf, gif, tiff and bmp. You may download this from http://www.tucows.com/preview/504817

If you are a Firefox user, a good free add-on “Abduction! 2.026” is available. It lets you capture an image of a web page or select the part you want and save it. This allows you to take a ‘full’ web page as a single jpg image. To save the entire web page as image, just right-click anywhere on the web page and select “Save Page As Image”. It will bring up a window where you may select either full page (default) or a required portion of screen and change settings such as Selection colour, Opacity, Format (PNG High Quality, JPEG High, Medium, Low) and click save. You may install abduction add-on from, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3408

Video Cd to mp3

I have video CDs of classical vocal music. Is it possible to copy only music from these CDs? If so, how?
