Question Thesis again - saving web pages to file

I'm trying to save the results of an online software package to file, so I can burn it onto CD to submit with my thesis. If I were to print out all the pages directly and bind them it would be a bit big... However, part of the result file is a nice little graphic. I know I could use PrtSc and faff around in a graphics package sticking it back in, but is this really the easiest way to do it? I've got about 18 such files, and can't afford to spend hours trying to get each one looking good... Any ideas?

Thanks!

What choices do you have under "File - Save As"?

What choices do you have if you click on the graphic and right mouse click?

"File - Save As" options:
Web Page, Complete
Web Archive, Single File
Web Page, HTML only
Text File

Saving as Complete/Single File both result in a saved version of the submission form?!
HTML only gives the problem above - results but no image.


Graphic options:
All, except for 'Show Picture', 'Cut' and 'Paste'

AerBabe,

If you 'right click' one of your graphics, does it give you the option to view 'Properties'? If so...is the path that contains the picture trying to access the right place?

On HTML files, an image is usually saved separately and linked to from the .html file; so if you copy the images as well as the main file, they should appear.

Thanks for the help both of you.
Pilotwolf has found the solution though...
Use AOL. Saving as a HTML, Complete file works fine.
Latest crisis over.

On the occasions when I want to keep stuff from a web page, for text I highlight it, copy and paste into a new Word file. For graphics, right click on the image and 'save picture as'. The graphics can then be imported into the Word file, with you deciding your own layout.

You also have the advantage of composing a single Word document that has elements from multiple web pages or different sites - easier to edit and handle.
