As I'm researching and cataloging stuff, how do I take a snap shot of a page for future reference. Like say this page.

I use Firefox, but IE should work the same. Right click on the page. Then click on "Save As", then click on complete web page. Select where you want the page saved and it'll be right where you want it.
PhffffffffffffT!
I could feel the hook :innocentwhistle: :alscalls:

I tried that and when I open it I get a bunch of little files. :doh2: Damb I hate this stuff. :alscalls:
how bout go under File, save page as, and save it in say your, documents
That did the same thing Scott. Thanks for trying guys but I just don't get it :sad:.
Did you try printing the page as described in my post?

I went back and looked at your post and the picture I thought was just some foolish signature came up when I clicked on it. I ain't hooked to a printer and I sure as [L] ain't going to start trying to save paper files and computer files both :nono:. I am far to over extended with the camera and this freaking thing to try something like that.
Barry, the third reply to this topic, which is from myself, contains an image, that when clicked will enlarge itself, revealing two simple steps involved in printing a page.
You gave me crap a while back for adding a note above attached images that stated "click image to enlarge it". As if I was insulting your intelligence. So I dont put any directions on that attached image......aaaaaaaaaaaaaand....look where we went. :innocentwhistle: :laf: :alscalls:
Oh so you DID put two and two together and click it. :laf:
Ok...I didnt know printing them was an issue. I thought it would be easier for someone in your position since the printed sheets would be very easily referred to.
If you save them as some sort of document how do you plan to name them so that you can refer to and access them as needed? I'm seeing a disaster in the making. :wo:
I did enlarge it after the other post and I clicked on print and it did something but if it is on this computer I sure as [L] don't know where. I can track power through my truck, sprayer or a magpie through the air but they have so few less places to hide than a cyber speck has on here. :argh:
:alscalls: :alscalls:barry your funny :biggrin:
If I can watch my Kenworth drive away without me in it, what kind of disaster do you think I can't handle :readthis:. Don't answer that :nono:.

Dave you better edit your post :readthis:. One of your alscalls didn't work :alscalls:
lol :alscalls: aint gonna worry about that Barry :biggrin:
Maybe the next best thing then would be to create a new favorites folder and bookmark these pages instead of actually trying to save them as content.
Plus that way you could name them practically anything without hindering your ability to refer back to them. :wink:
Barry,I'm glad you are around here to ask dumb ass questions so that I can learn something also :biggrin: That is something I have been trying to figure out myself. Thankyou very much. :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie: cc
Jim that idea will work fine and I have a few pages saved that way :wink:. The one I mentioned is an ebay page and after their auction is over all the good stuff is removed :argh:. Kinda/sorta why I wanted to save a snapshot of some of them :readthis:. I've found ebay and other auction type sites to be a really good source for studying up on old artifacts.

:alscalls: Carl you are welcome and I sure as [L] didn't expect a response like this one. :wink: Someone once said," there are no dumb questions", their only problem was they never knew a Canadian :innocentwhistle:.
Barry,
While you have the ebay picture you want on screen, hold the shift button and press the Prt Sc button. Now open Paint, click edit, paste, save as, then the name and place you want it saved.
Is this kinda what you are wanting?

Appreciate it Mike but I kinda want to save the words too. I'm thinking I'll be using what the fellows are helping me out with on the camera thread to take snapshots of some pages :eyebrow:.
Just something more else to think about Barry. Once you have your pics on your computer you can open a free Photo Bucket acc't. Actually as many as you like. One could be hand tools. One could be power tools. Vehicles,, etc,,etc. Save all your pics in those accounts then delete them from your computer. Now you won't lose your pics if your puter :puke: on you. You just need to remember your PB account info & all will be good. Diane & I have 4 or 5 accounts.
Not trying to add anything to the list today. Just an idea for tomorrow maybe. :biggrin:
Glen I had to get the paid account at the bucket cause this site was eating up all the band width. :madd: Thanks for the help though :wink:
Barry,
Doing the shift-Prt Sc then pasting to paint does save the words too. It takes a snapshot of what's on your screen just as if you done it with a camera, kinda sorta.
OK Mike I' gonna be trying that later. Right now I'm going to go see about a FORD 1/2 ton that an old fellow wants to sell. Temp is 14F and I'm outta the house for a while today :yoyo: :yoyo:.

This isnt a problem either.
With Firefox click on "File" then "Save page as".
When the save dialog box comes up make sure you save it as a complete page, as indicated by the pink arrow. It might automatically be filled out for you.
And then name the actual page whatever you want where the green arrow is pointing.
click image to enlarge(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/RiverBoy/fnf%20tutorials/savepageas.jpg)
What this will do is capture all image files, and all content, and place it all in a folder wherever you save it to. You can then rename the folder later to whatever you want for filing or sorting your stuff.
When you open the folder if you double click the file that is titled index, or home...it will open the page up locally and self sufficiently meaning your not on the web looking at it. And it will appear just as it did on the web.
That worked right up to the part where I am to find an index :shrug:
You lost me there...elaborate a lil bit :wink:
When I get to this point, "When you open the folder if you double click the file that is titled index, or home...it will open the page up locally and self sufficiently meaning your not on the web looking at it. And it will appear just as it did on the web." , I don't find an index or home. Just a folder with all a bunch of small files in it. I don't read this

Very good :laf: :laf:
If you performed all this with Firefox, the file you want to double click will actually be named whatever you put in the file name field indicated by the green arrow in my pic.
So in other words, if you named the file sausage-mcmuffin, then the files name will be sausage-mcmuffin instead of index or home.
Another thing you should know is that all the files images etc, that are needed to show you the page will be in the folder that is created where you saved the page to. The actual file that you will be double clicking wont be IN that folder.
When you double click the file sausage-mcmuffin.htm it uses the files in that folder to show you the page.

Mike you are my hero :bowingsmilie: Only took me a week but I finally managed to find the "Prt Sc button", I was looking on the page for it :doh2:. I was chatting with Art and he said his was beside the F12 button on the key board. I'll be dabed if mine weren't there too :biggrin:.
Thanks guys.
Now don't be telling me what I'm doing is illegal cause I'm in a good mood. :pout:
