Yet more internet help please
although I'm pretty sure that this is a very basic easy to answer question.

I've just found a very useful website that I would like to save pages from. I'm sure there is a way of doing this without cutting and pasting them into word or saving them as individual bookmarks, I just don't know what it is.

Basically it's about 10 pages of questions and then pages of the same questions with the answers revealed, so I'd like to save both sets as I don't trust myself to not cheat and look at the answers as I go along.

Please and thank you :)

In Firefox
go to the ´file´ menu and choose ´save´. You can now save the current web-page. You can also right-click a link and choose "save link as" from the context menu.

Hope this helps.

And in IE
Go to page, and "save as". Not sure which browser you have, but thats covered it anyway!

In IE and Firefox
File - Save As...

it'll save the complete page, with a little folder for the images too, so it'll appear like the page would off the net.

Thanks everyone
I've just tried that in firefox (saved as webpage) and it comes up with them in my browser window. Does this mean that I can only access them online as the links still work. I'm just a bit worried in case some of these links get taken down and I can't access them in a few months time.

At some point I'll want to print them out so I have hard copies to write on and use for revision, so would it be better to save them as something else?

.
When saving in Firefox, in the "save as type" dropdown, it says "web page, complete" which means it saves as much as it can ("web page, HTML" just saves the HTML without the pics etc.) so you should have everything.

One way of verifying that you´ve saved everything is to disconnect your computer from the Internet and clear the browser-cache (in Firefox, press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL and make sure the ´cache´ checkbox is checked and press ´clear private data now´) while the web page in question is not open in any browser-tab. Then load the saved web-page from the hard-disk and check to see if everything is there.
