Copying, Saving, and Printing Pages in Netscape 6

 

Copying Part of a Page

To copy some text from a page:

  1. Select the text.
  2. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.

You can paste the text into other files.

To copy a link (URL) or an image from a page:

  1. Position the pointer over the link or image.
  2. Right-click the link or image to display a pop-up menu. (On Mac OS, press the Control key and click the mouse button.)
  3. Choose Copy Link Location or Copy Image Location. If an image is also a link, you are offered both options.

You can paste the link into other files or into Navigator's Location bar.

Saving All or Part of a Page

To save an entire page:

  1. Open the File menu and choose Save Page As.
  2. In the Save File dialog box, choose a folder in which to save this file.
  3. Type a name for the page and click Save.

When you view a page containing frames and a frame is currently selected, the pop-up menu's Save Frame As option is offered in addition to Save Page As. This lets you save only the page within the selected frame.

Saving a file onto your hard drive lets you view the page (or its HTML code) when you're not connected to the Internet.

To save an image from a page:

  1. Position the mouse pointer over the image.
  2. Right-click the image (on Mac OS, press the Control key and click the mouse button) to display a pop-up menu.
  3. Choose Save Image As.
  4. In the Save File dialog box, choose a folder in which to save this image.
  5. Type a name for the image and click Save.

To save a page without displaying it (which is useful for retrieving a nonformatted page, like a data file, that's not intended for viewing):

  1. Position the mouse pointer over the page's link.
  2. Right-click the page's link (on Mac OS, press the Control key and click the mouse button) to display a pop-up menu.
  3. Choose Save Link As.
  4. In the Save File dialog box, choose a folder in which to save this file.
  5. Type a name for the page and click Save.

Important: Some links automatically download and save files to your hard drive after you click them. The URLs for these links often begin with "ftp" or end with a file-type extension such as "au" or "mpeg." These links might transmit software, sound, or movie files, and can launch helper applications that support the files.

Printing a Page

To print the current page:

  1. Open the File menu and choose Print.

The size of the printed page, not the size of the on-screen window, determines placement of content on the print-out. Text is wrapped and graphics are repositioned to accommodate paper size.
