Paste a web page to MSWord 2003
G'Day Metallo,
There are a number of Word AddIns that clear the Windows clipboard as they load. IF you start Word first AND Select / Copy in Internet Explorer second THEN you should be able to Paste into Word. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Metallo" wrote in message ...

Paste a web page to MSWord 2003
Pat,
Unfortunately is not that easy. The funny thing is that I can see what I want to copy in the clipboard, you can click on it as many time as you wish, but nothing happens. -- Alex "Pat Garard" apgarard-bigpond:net:au wrote in message ...

Paste a web page to MSWord 2003
Regardless of why it doesn't work (and I can replicate the problem), this is
what will: Right-click on an image you want to save and choose Save Picture As. Save it to your hard drive, then use Insert | Picture | From File to insert it into a Word document. Alternatively, you can save the entire Web page in Word. In your browser (presumed to be IE), choose File | Save As | Web page, complete. This will create a Web page and supporting folder (for the images) in the place where you saved it. When you open it in Word, all the images will be in place, and you should be able to copy them from there and paste them into another document. -- Suzanne S.

When you saved the Web page to your HD, did you open the supporting folder?
It contains 403 objects, which includes all the graphics. There does seem to be a noticeable dearth of text, and when I viewed the HTML source, not being much good at HTML, I couldn't determine where/how it was hiding. The page is clearly assembled by some ASP/Java/whatever magic that is beyond me, and protected in some equally mysterious way. Best I can suggest is that you copy the text by hand and the graphics as described and then put them together in a table manually. -- Suzanne S.

Paste a web page to MSWord 2003
Hi Alex,
The web page (just the coding) is over 500K and contains some scripts and other elements not in Word's web page generating abilities. When visiting that page, even with a cable connection the hundreds of pictures took a long time to finish downloading and rendeing. A 500K web document is a lot and coupled with what appears to be a slow server and another Word 2003 did eventually open the page for editing (using a saved copy of the HTML from notepad), but it was around an hour to do so, (if your antivirus software is set to prescan that page while loading and if you have auto spell check and autocorrect settings turned on that can add time to the process) and about another 20 minutes for Word to generate its version of the webpage of over 950KB when saving from Word 2003. Breaking the links to save the pictures in the Word 2003 document brought the size up to almost 3MB that's made of a picture filled large table (something Word has a tendency to process rather laboriously as far as screen updating. ============ "Metallo" wrote in message ... Suzanne, I tried it myself your solution n° 2 before posting this forum. Again, try yourself, Word does not open the saved HTML webpage, but you can see the link in the clipboard.

Well, even if you want to paste1 line, it does not work.
This means that Suzanne is right, something in the way the web page is written prevents to paste it. I must say, this is the first time it occurs to me, now I will have to find another way to edit that web page. Thank you for your support. -- Alex "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote in message ...

Thank you Suzanne.
Copy by hand is not an option for me, given that I want to paste the complete web page(s), 500 hits! I will have to find another way to edit that text. Thank you for your help! -- Alex "Suzanne S.

Word is usually not my HTML editor of choice with even simple HTML pages, but with PHP --- you are using the wrong tool, especially if you really want to "edit the web page."

Hi Robert,
Interesting. This morning it took only about 3 minutes to open it (and the browser cache was deleted each time). Did you do a save as then as a Word web page and then as a Word .doc with embedded pictures? ================= "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ...

Did you do a save as then as a Word web page and then as a Word .doc with embedded pictures? No. Actually, I was quite happy to navigate through the document, and then had the not-so-bright idea to switch to PrintPreview. I did not wait till/whether Word would ever finish preparing that view (gave up after 10 minutes or so :-)).
