Capturing
Pages to Use Offline
I had heard that Internet
Explorer worked for capturing web page and their links. After reading
Pat's response I decided to try it...and did a search for directions.
It was pretty neat! Please let me know if you have any problems...It's
easier than it sounds! (ZDNet also offers freeware download for
SiteSnagger:http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/pctech/content/17/04/ut1704.001.html)
I'm just going to
copy and paste the directions and URL where I found the results: http://www.infotoday.com/searcher/mar00/bell.htm
This is the paragraph
I followed with the links included (They were helpful)
Browser-Based Solutions
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5 (IE5) offers a good example
of a browser’s ability to facilitate offline browsing. Though probably
not intended for presenters, the offline browsing function incorporated
into IE5 makes the downloading process more efficient than the “save as”
method. This feature is also available in IE4 and the steps listed here
should work, but IE5 does simplify the procedure. Begin by adding the
desired Web page to the Favorites list (IE’s terminology for bookmarking
a site). Check the box to make the item available offline (Figure
1). I recommend creating a folder labeled “offline browsing” to
store all captured pages (Figure
2). The download can be customized two ways. First, the user can
specify whether or not to include the links on the page being downloaded.
That is, should the links on the captured page be active (“hot”) or non-working
(“cold”)? Presenters that show a page where there is no need to go to
the links on it can save disk space and download time by just capturing
the single page with cold links. If all the links need to be active offline,
choose the option to save the links (Figure
3).
