Copying web pages. How to copy a page in Word

29.06.2021

For beginners, a very important skill is the ability to correctly copy a web page or part of it. There are several ways to do this.

Method one

The simplest method, although it has many disadvantages, is the following. For example, let's try to copy a letter from a mailing list:

In the upper left corner, click on “File”. A list of commands will open:

Now we need to select the folder where you want to save the copied file. To do this, click the drop-down list button (shown by an arrow) and the contents of your computer will open:

Before saving this file, it must be titled. In the “File name” column, write the desired name, for example, “Letter from A. Ushanov.” In the “File type” column, click the drop-down list button:

Fig.6
Select “Complete web page” (i.e. click on it). You should get something like this:

Click with the RIGHT mouse button on the line with the name of the downloaded file, a list of commands will appear, as in Fig. 8. You can click on the “Open” command, the file will open. But it’s better to click on the “Open folder with file” link, then the folder containing the file will open. Let's see what's there:

The file “Letter from A. Ushanov” and another folder with files under the same name appeared. The folder contains files with pictures that you saw on the mail.ru website itself. You can watch them. To view the file “Letter from A. Ushanov” itself, you need to use your browser. No, you don't need to open it first. You just need to click on this file, the browser will open and you will see this letter in it:

If you compare this screenshot with the screenshot shown in Fig. 1, then it may seem to you that they are one and the same. So it is, you see the saved file in Fig. 10. Pay attention to the file address in the address bar: file:///C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/Letter from A. Ushanov.htm, i.e. it is clear that this file was taken by the browser not from the Internet, but from your “C” drive. (If it’s hard to see, click on the picture)

Arrow 1 shows the tab with the web page, arrow 2 shows your saved file.

The advantages of this method are its relative simplicity. Disadvantages: the computer is loaded with unnecessary information (folder + file), significant weight - the file itself weighs 275 kilobytes and the folder weighs another 1.26 MB. In addition, you need to open the browser, which slows things down. Therefore, let's turn to another method of saving.

2nd way to save information from the Internet.

We are only interested in the content of the letter. Place the cursor at the beginning of the text (shown with a check mark), press the left button and, without releasing the button, drag the mouse to the lower right corner.

Having reached it, release the left mouse button and click the RIGHT mouse button in an empty space. You will get it like this:

Click on the word “Copy”, thereby you copy the contents to the clipboard. Now open the desired folder (in our example it is “General Documents”), right-click on an empty space, select “New” and “Microsoft Word Document”:

Write the title - “Letter from A. Ushanov”, open it and click with the RIGHT MOUSE on a blank sheet of paper. Select "Insert".

The copied text is pasted, click “Save” (upper arrow). Please note a number of points:

All this means is that the text formatting is preserved. If the body of the letter contained photographs, pictures, diagrams, then they would also be transferred to Word. By the way, compared to the previous options, the file weight has been significantly reduced - only 20 KB.

In order to remove formatting, you need to use copying method 3 (recommended for use in everyday practice).

3rd method to copy a web page

First, you do everything exactly the same as in the second method: select the text, copy it to the clipboard (Fig. 11 and 12), open the desired folder, but create not a Word document, but a Text document (simply a Notepad page). There is no need to title it; we need this Notepad page for technical purposes. Therefore, its name – “Text document” – let it remain. Double-click on this name and Notepad will open.

We see that the text is still in a column, which means that A. Ushanov did it this way deliberately, otherwise it would have been continuous, i.e. not a column. To copy it from notepad, we will use “hot keys”. This is a set of keys that allows you to perform some action, in our case, select all the text. Press the key combination “Ctrl” and “A” (or F - in the Russian layout, if you prefer), the text will be highlighted. Press the RIGHT mouse button, select “Copy”, open the desired folder again, create a “Word Document”, write a name, open and paste. Those. We do everything as in the second method.

How can I copy a web page if the page has copy protection installed? Many of us have visited sites on the Internet where we were unable to copy the contents of the site page in the usual way.

To copy content, select the contents of the web page with the right mouse button, so that you can then copy the selection, but it is not possible to save the web page this way. This site may have copy protection software or plugins installed.

The plugin blocks the use of mouse selection. Many webmasters thus want to protect their intellectual property by protecting their content from being copied.

Some not very conscientious site owners copy the contents of other people's articles on other sites and publish the copied articles under their own name.

Most of those who copy articles on website pages are still conscientious people. They copy only so as not to lose the necessary information. The addresses of visited sites are lost; it is not always possible to remember on which site you previously saw this information, which has only become necessary now.

But, unfortunately, and for some, perhaps fortunately, 100% copy protection does not exist. There are several ways to copy the content of a website page or a specific article on a website.

The easiest way is, of course, simply copying the text from the site page, but this is a rather labor-intensive process.

You can bookmark an individual web page or site in your browser, but this is not copying.

There are several more copying methods, and I want to tell you about them. You'll learn how to copy a web page even if the site has content copy protection installed.

Web page screenshot

The second easiest way is to take a screenshot of the entire page or a specific article.

Using the Windows operating system tool, when you press the “Print Screen” keyboard key, the open page of the site is copied. After copying to the clipboard, we can open the page in a graphic editor, for example, in the Paint graphic editor built into the operating system.

In the Paint editor, click on the “Home” tab, and then on the “Insert” button. After inserting an image, you can edit it if necessary, and then save it in the desired graphic format.

The disadvantages of this method are that the copy is saved as a graphic file, the text cannot be edited in it, and not the entire page can be included in the image if it does not completely fit on the monitor screen.

Those users whose computers have Windows Vista and Windows 7 (in older editions) operating systems installed have a good program for taking screenshots - Scissors.

With its help, you can copy not only the entire page, but also a separate part of the article, or just the article itself if it is small. This can also be done using other programs for taking screenshots, as well as using appropriate browser add-ons (extensions).

How to save a web page as a web document or web archive

Let's consider the question of how to copy a web page in the most popular browsers.

In the Internet Explorer browser, you will need to enter the “Tools” menu => “File” => “Save as...” (or simultaneously press the “Ctrl” + “S” keys on the keyboard). After this, an Explorer window opens.

In the Explorer window, after selecting a save location, you are offered a choice of several options for saving the file.

If you selected the options: “Web page in full” or “Web page, only HTML”, then after saving the page, next to the file - “HTML document”, a folder with the contents of the site page will be saved.

After opening the web archive, you will see a saved page of the site, from where you can copy the entire page, or just an article, or part of an article in the usual way for further editing or saving, for example, in the Word program from Microsoft Office.

In the Opera browser, you need to click on the “Opera” button, then “Page” => “Save as...”, then select the save option, similar to the Internet Explorer browser.

In the Mozilla Firefox browser, you need to click on the “Firefox” => “Save As...” button, then select the desired option for saving the web page. Saving in a web archive in the Mozilla Firefox browser is possible if you install the appropriate extension in the Firefox browser.

To copy a web page, in the Google Chrome browser, click on the “Setting and managing Google Chrome” button => “Save page as...”, then you need to select a saving method from two options: “Complete web page” or “Web page , HTML only."

Save a web page to PDF using a virtual printer

A virtual printer allows you to convert any document or image from a program that supports printing into PDF format.

In order to use a virtual printer in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera browsers, you need to install a program on your computer - a virtual printer, for example.

In this example, I am using a free program - the Bullzip PDF Printer virtual printer.

The installation of the program is standard, and it occurs in Russian. The program is installed into the operating system as a virtual printer. After installation on your computer, Bullzip PDF Printer appears in the list of installed printers and faxes.

After you have visited the site page that you need to save, in your browser settings you need to click on the “Print” item.

In the window that opens, you will need to select the Bullzip PDF Printer virtual printer from the list of installed printers. After this, you need to click on the “OK” button.

The page is saved to your computer, and you, in the Explorer window, must select a location to save the PDF file.

Read on to learn how to copy a web page using a browser.

Saving a page as PDF in the Google Chrome browser

When using the Google Chrome browser, it is possible to save website pages as a PDF file, without using a third-party virtual printer. A virtual printer is built into the Google Chrome browser.

To do this, press the key combination “Ctrl” + “P” on your keyboard. In the “Print” window that opens, in the “Target Printer” tab, select “Save as PDF”.

The web page will be saved in PDF format.

RightToClick extension for Mozilla Firefox

By installing this extension to the Mozilla Firefox browser, you can remove protection from using the right mouse button to select the desired content on the site for further copying.

To install the RightToClick add-on, you need to click on the “Firefox” => “Add-ons” => “Get add-ons” button. In the “Search among add-ons” field you need to enter the expression “RightToClick”. On the RightToClick extension page that opens, click on the “Add to Firefox” button, and then on the “Install now” => “Restart now” link.

On the Mozilla Firefox browser panel (top or bottom), there will be an arrow-shaped RightToClick extension icon.

Now, in order to copy text or images from a web page where the right mouse button is blocked, just click on the RightToClick extension icon.

After this, you will be able to copy the contents of a web page using a selection using the right mouse button.

Conclusions of the article

There are several ways in which you can copy a web page to your computer.

The question of how to copy a website page often arises among inexperienced Internet users. In the article we will give a detailed answer to it.

Copied, pasted, saved

The Ctrl+C key combination for copying (quick or hot keys) is easy to remember through a simple association with the identical sound of the initial letters “K” (copy) and “C” (copy), especially since there are already two of the latter in the combination. The same goes for the next pair of shortcut keys for the “V-bet” copied (Ctrl+V), without which the first one is meaningless. You can, of course, do all this in the context menu by calling it with the right button and selecting the appropriate commands, but with hot keys there are fewer actions.

If these little tricks “get stuck” in the subconscious, then as soon as the question arises of how to copy (part of a website page, for example), the hand itself will reach for the familiar keyboard shortcut. When the fragment you selected with your mouse (or the entire web page in its entirety) turns blue, all that remains is to paste it into a previously prepared Word document.

Why Word? Because all the pictures, links and formatting will be saved in it. But this is more of an instinctive rather than a deliberate and rational technique. And every self-respecting browser knows how to copy a site page in its entirety, and for this they have the “Save as...” command in their context menus.

What's in your context menu today?

If you right-click on a page anywhere where there are no pictures, links or forms, a context menu will kindly “pop up”. Each browser has its own specialties in this menu, but they all offer different options for navigating, saving a page, viewing its source code, manipulating images, frames, etc.

The “Save As” command is also available in the “File” menu in Mozilla Firefox and Safari browsers, and in Chrome it reads “Save Page As” and is located in the settings panel, called up by the button with three bars in the upper right corner. In Opera, such a panel is opened by clicking on the browser logo (the red letter "O" in the upper left corner), where the "Save As" command is located in the "Page" submenu. In the Internet Explorer browser, you need to click on the gear in the upper right, go to “Tools” and select “Save As” from the “File” menu.

Browsers, of course, are very smart programs, but the computer has a simple solution to bring up the "Save As" dialog box - this is the Ctrl + S key combination, which, by the way, is very useful to press periodically when working with text, in order to avoid known troubles.

How to copy a web page

In the specified dialog box, you are prompted to select the folder where you want to place the copied file, and 4 options for saving it: “Web page, entire”, “Web page, HTML only”, “Text files” and “All files”. If we are interested in how to copy a website page (1), naturally, we select the “Web Page, complete…” option and, after giving the file a name, click the “Save” button.

Having opened the specified directory, we will find there a folder with all the contents of the web page (images, scripts, forms, index files, authorize, bootstrap, etc.), as well as a file with the extension .htm, separate from the folder, when you open it, you will see that This is a “bare” html frame with “live” links, but without styling. If you pay attention to the address bar, you will see the following entry: file:///C:/Users/... etc. Are comments needed? This file is already on your disk, therefore, it will open in all browsers even without the Internet, but the links, naturally, will not work.

By saving a web page in other options, you will get exactly what you chose (HTML only, text only, or all files).

How to "break through the defense"

Now you need to figure out how to copy a website page (2) if it is protected from copying. In this case, in the context menu of the page (right-click), select the command “Page Source Code” (in Mozilla Firefox), or “View Source Code”, “View Page Code”, “View HTML Code”, etc. in other browsers. Moreover, it is not necessary to open the code of the entire page, since the browser can only show the selected fragment. By the way, in Chrome, Opera and Mozilla Firefox, the source code can be opened using the Ctrl+U key combination.

If users who are figuring out how to copy a site page (3) had one of these “lightweight” web editors such as Web Page Maker installed on their computer, they would probably guess to open in it and then save on their disk any page in almost its original form, along with all the “protective measures”. Having saved using the “Export to Html...” command, the Web Page Maker website builder will put all the image files in a folder and give you an html file of the loaded page with “local registration”.

"Workaround"

If it is not of fundamental importance to you how to copy a site page, just to get it with all the content, then you can save the file in pdf format. This option may be less popular compared to conventional methods, but it is very simple, accessible and effective, especially since in the Google Chrome browser, for example, this can be done without “outside help.”

By clicking on the already familiar button at the top right, open the browser settings panel and select “Print” (Ctrl + P). In the print settings window on the left, click “Change” in the “Printer” line, then in the next window, select “Save as PDF” as the local destination. We complete the procedure with the “Save” button, indicating where to put the file.

The “outside help” that will be needed to convert to pdf in other browsers is special extensions or special web services.

I will describe an almost universal copying method. Typically, scripts and copy protection tags are written in the header of the page code or at the very beginning. The text itself and the pictures that need to be copied are located somewhere in the middle of the source code of the page. They no longer contain copy protection tags. The task is to find, select and copy the required text and pictures in the source code of the page.

First, you need to open the source code of the page.

To do this, in Internet Explorer go to View -> View HTML Code.

In Firefox you need to go to Tools -> Web Development - Page Source Code.

In Google Chrome, click the Settings icon in the top right corner. Then select Tools -> View Source Code.
In Opera, click the Opera button in the upper left corner of the screen and select Developer Tools - View Source from the menu.

Usually at the beginning of the page code there are descriptions of styles, various scripts for copy protection, advertising links, etc. We skip all this and look for the actual text, pictures, i.e. what we want to copy. HTML tags will be included in the text. Try to determine the beginning and end of the complete, complete fragment that you need. It starts with div, p tags, h1, h2, h3 heading tags, table tags, etc. Typically, such text is located in a heap and is quite easy to identify in the source code of the page. It's somewhere in the middle of the code.
But sometimes an entire paragraph of text or even an article can be in one, very long line. Carefully review the source code so as not to miss such a line. It can be especially difficult to see when there are a lot of advertising inserts on the page. It is also difficult to highlight a fragment of the article itself when there is little text and a lot of inserted pictures.
Select this fragment with the mouse and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl + C). Open Notepad and paste the text from the clipboard. When viewing the code, do not copy advertising inserts like Yandex.Direct, etc. But even if you accidentally copy them, they are unlikely to be displayed in the resulting document, since they fall out of the page display context.

To ensure that the text is displayed correctly in the browser, enter the tag in the first line , and at the end of the text enter a closing tag. Save the text as a file with the htm extension.

The problem is solved. In Explorer, click on the file name and it will open in your default browser. With this method of opening, Windows sometimes displays the page incorrectly, so it is better to select File - Open File in the browser menu. In Firefox, to do this, you need to enable the Menu Bar if it is disabled.
The information you need will be displayed on the screen, although not as beautifully as on the original page. This means that you still managed to copy the page to your computer.

Sometimes, instead of readable text, crappy text is displayed, since the html file is not entirely correct. In this case, you just need to change the text encoding. In Firefox, for example, in the top menu go to View - Text Encoding and select Unicode or sometimes the older one - Cyrillic (Windows). Another way is to force the encoding to be changed by writing it in the file header. You can try different encodings. To do this, at the very beginning of the htm file after the tag write the lines, for example, like this:

You can determine the text encoding in Notepad++. Open the htm file in this program. The encoding will be indicated in the status bar at the bottom of the window. All that remains is to write it in the tag . You can change the encoding. Select Encoding from the top menu. In the list that opens, select Convert to the desired encoding. The encoding in the status bar will change. Save the resulting file.

If the text is displayed as a table, but the cells are not highlighted with lines, then this is also easy to fix. In the htm file, find the table tag and add border=1 cellspacing=0 at the end of the tag. It will look something like this:

Save the file and open it in your browser - the table will be highlighted with thin lines. If you remove cellspacing=0, then the table cells will be highlighted with double lines.

But opening a page in a browser every time is not very convenient. It also often happens that the text is copied, but the pictures are not. So let's continue. Again, select the text of the resulting htm page, copy and paste it into a Word document. You will have to manually insert the pictures into the Word document.
On the site page, right-click on the image and select Save Image As... from the menu. The Save window will open, in which the file type should be JPEG Image or another graphic format (GIF, PNG). Enter the desired file name or leave the one specified. Remember the place where you saved the picture. Open a Word document and place the cursor where you want the picture to be. From the Word main menu, select Insert - Picture. In the Insert Picture window, select the saved picture and click Insert. The picture will be inserted into the document in the right place. Repeat these steps for all other pictures. Don't forget to save the modified Word document.
On Linux, instead of Notepad, you can use the text editor gedit or similar, and instead of Word, you can use the free LibreOffice package.

In short, do you understand? First, in Notepad, we create an HTML document without security scripts and advertising inserts, containing the information you need, then open it in your favorite browser.
Select the entire page that opens and copy it into Word. But! Sometimes it happens that the mouse indicator spins, but the text is not inserted into the Word document - you will have to wait a little. If waiting doesn't help, then do the following. Paste the selected fragment into the Notepad text editor. The text will contain paragraphs and headings, as required. Select all the text again and copy it into a Word document. The text should insert without problems, since it now lacks the tags that were confusing MS Word. Then you can change the font, highlight headings, etc.
If the pictures were not copied, then go to the site again. We copy the pictures from the site one by one and paste them into the required places in the Word document. Save the Word document. This is the technology. In 90% of cases it works great.

Sometimes the pictures extend beyond the edge of the sheet or, conversely, are very small. This is easy to fix. Click on the picture (squares will appear in the corners). Move your mouse cursor to the lower left (right) corner of the picture. As soon as the double-headed arrow appears, press the left mouse button and, without releasing it, move the cursor in (or out) diagonally on the image, reducing (or stretching) it. Release the button. The picture will decrease (increase) in size and fit within the sheet.
It often happens that the text after insertion is aligned to the width of the page, i.e. There are several spaces between words. Such text is difficult to read. To correct, select all the text and click the Align Left button.

If the picture is small and the details are hard to see, try clicking on it to make it appear larger. Many sites allow you to do this. All that remains is to save this enlarged copy of the picture. It happens that an enlarged image cannot be copied or saved. When you right-click on a picture, a menu appears with Copy link, etc., but no Save as... or Copy image. This happens when viewing an image gallery. Then open the source code of the page and look in it for a link to the picture that contains the extension .jpg. For example, something like http://j.klhis.com/9GPc1A.jpg. Click on the link. An image should open. If you haven’t guessed right, then look for the next similar link. When the required picture is found, right-click on it and select Save As... or Copy Image. Check that the saved file has the extension .jpg, .png or .gif, i.e. graphic format.

It happens that a webmaster inserts text onto a page in the form of a picture. You can't select text and copy it, but you can copy the picture itself and paste it into Word. Right-click (RMB) on the text and select from the menu Save image as... If there is no such item in the menu, but there is Save as... This means the browser offers to save it as a web page. In this case this is not required. Then click on the text with the mouse, usually after this the text is presented in an enlarged form. Right-click again and an item should appear in the menu Save image as.. since the text will be displayed as an image. Save the image and then paste it into Word. Similarly, you can copy other pages of text.

So far I know of one resource where this technique does not work. This is Google Play Books.

The free portion of the book is highlighted, but it cannot be copied. You can do the following.

Select the desired fragment of a book page and click Search in Book in the menu window. In a new window, select the desired fragment again and press Ctrl+C.

Now the fragment can be copied and pasted into a Word document. Only line breaks get lost, you have to manually correct them. Place the cursor in the desired location and press Shift+Enter to break the line. It's still better than nothing at all. This method does not copy well text in two languages (English and Russian) or containing special characters.

Sometimes the text is not visible against the background of the inserted image, since the colors of the text and the background are the same. Select this block and change the background color or text color to make the text stand out.

It happens that a page is copied without problems, but the text pasted into Word is pale gray and all the lines are underlined. Such text is difficult to read and links contained in the text are masked. This happens when the site is laid out in tabular formats. The table tags table, tr, td are visible in the source code. Of course, you can manually remove them. But this is a thankless task. It's easier to do it differently. On the site page, select the first paragraph of text and copy it. Insert the paragraph into a new Word document. Right-click on the image following the paragraph and select Copy Image from the menu. Paste the picture into the Word document following the paragraph copied earlier. In this way, you can copy all the information from a page into a Word document. The text is displayed normally and all links to other resources are saved in it. This is also tedious, but the result is worth it. Those. We copy the table layout cells separately into a Word document.

Often there are tables on the page that need to be copied. Use the Internet Explorer browser for these purposes. Despite all its shortcomings, it copies tables correctly. Microsoft Edge from Windows 10 also copies tables correctly. Select the table and press Copy (Ctrl+C). Open MS Word and paste the copied fragment. The table should be inserted into the MS Word document without distortion. When using Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome browsers, instead of a table, you will most likely get a solid paragraph of text with a bunch of words without any division into rows and columns.

Sometimes there is text on the site, but it is not in the htm file - instead there are spaces and line breaks. And this block of text cannot be saved as a picture. This often happens in articles devoted to the html language. Then I use a “power” technique. I take a screenshot of the desired part of the page (press Alt+ PrintScreen to save the active window). Launch Paint and paste the image (Ctrl+V). Click the Select tool and select the desired part of the image. Right-click and select Copy from the menu. Go to the Word document, place the cursor in the right place and paste the picture (Ctrl+V).

If you are well versed in html code, you can find and delete (comment out) the copy protection script in the source code. All that remains is to save the modified code as an htm file.

Select the source code with the mouse or select Select All from the menu. Press Ctrl + C or select Copy from the menu. Paste the copied code into Notepad (not Word!). WordPad is also not recommended. It sometimes gives an error when inserting text.

Source code is text that has a title - head and a body - body. Find a line like this:

This tag specifies copy protection settings. You need to remove these parameters, leaving those that do not affect protection. In this case, you can leave the parameter that sets the background color and delete the rest. It will turn out like this:

Another option is to comment out the original tag and add a new shortened one.

Save the corrected text as a text file with the extension .htm. Open the saved page in your browser. To do this, in the line for entering the site name, type the name of the htm file. Or simply click on the file name and it will open in the browser. Now it becomes possible to select and copy text, pictures and paste them into Word or another program.

Often you don’t even need to adjust the code; after saving it as a .htm file, copying becomes possible without any corrections.

Webmasters use different copy protection methods. If the above does not help, try removing the header of the html file, i.e. all text between tags And. The display of the html page will be disrupted, but copying will be possible. The copied page can be pasted into MS Word and edited at your discretion.

If you need to copy text without graphics, you can use a text browser. Linux has several text (console) browsers. They display only text without graphics or advertising, so they are very fast. They can also be used to copy protected pages.
To copy plain text without tables, you can use the lynx browser; there is a version for Windows. In the lynx browser, simply select the text with the mouse and copy it to the clipboard. At the bottom of the screen there is a status bar and help lines.
If the page contains tables and frames, then use links. It displays tables correctly. For example, the above page can be copied like this. On Linux, open a terminal window to full screen and issue the command links metmk.com.ua/inch.php.

If Russian text is displayed in English letters (transliteration), then you need to make settings. Press Esc, the top menu bar will appear. In it, select File -> Setup -> Character Set. In the list, select the Unicode UTF-8 encoding or other Russian encoding in which the web page is written. It can be viewed in the source code of the page in the header. You can also change the menu language to Russian. Go to File -> Setup -> Language -> Russian. And lastly: File -> Settings -> Save Settings.
From the menu, select Save formatted document. Save it as a regular text file. Moreover, the text will be in black letters on a white background. As they say, cheap and cheerful.
To go to another page, click on the link. Links are highlighted in brighter colors.

To have access to the content of a web portal even without a network connection, you need to make a local copy of the page (screen, text or HTML file), which will be stored on disk. This way you can study the information there at any time. Of course, if a computer with the necessary data is nearby. You can transfer not only text content, but also pictures, formatting elements, and structure. Learn how to take a screenshot of a global network resource page, copy it with all graphic and multimedia content at once, or save its contents as a file.

Copy from browser

You can transfer data from the browser to any text editor. Microsoft Word is best suited for this. It displays images and formatting correctly. Although due to the specifics of the document, advertising, menus and some frames may not look very aesthetically pleasing.

Here's how to copy a website page:

Open the desired URL.
Press Ctrl+A. Or right-click on any area free from pictures and flash animation and select “Select” in the context menu. This should be done to cover all the information, and not some arbitrary piece of the article.
Ctrl+C. Or in the same context menu, find the “Copy” option.
Open Word.
Place the cursor in the document and press Ctrl+V.
After this you need to save the file.

Sometimes it turns out that only the text is transferred. If you need the rest of the content, you can take that too. Here's how to copy a web resource page in its entirety - with all hyperlinks and pictures:

Follow the previous steps up to point 4.
Right-click in the document.
In the "Paste Options" section, find the "Keep Source Formatting" button. Point it at it and the name will appear in the tooltip. If you have a computer with Office 2007, the option to select this option appears only after insertion - the corresponding icon will appear next to the added fragment.

In some cases, graphics and formatting cannot be copied. Text only. Even without division into paragraphs. But you can take a screenshot or use special software to transfer the page content to your computer.

Websites with copy protection

Sometimes a resource has so-called “Copy Protection”. The problem is that the text on them cannot be selected or moved to another place. But this limitation can be circumvented. Here's how to do it:

Right-click anywhere on the page.
Select Source Code or View Code.
A window will open in which all the information is in html tags.
To find the desired piece of text, press Ctrl+F and enter part of the word or sentence in the field that appears. The searched passage will be shown, which you can select and copy.

If you want to save an entire site to your computer, you don’t need to completely remove the tags so that only useful information remains. You can use any html editor. For example, FrontPage is suitable. No knowledge of web design is required.

Select all html code.
Open your web page editor.
Copy this code there.
Go to preview mode to see what the copy will look like.
Go to File - Save As. Select the file type (it is better to leave the default HTML), specify the path to the folder where it will be located, and confirm the action. It will be saved on an electronic computer.

Copy protection can be tied to some js script. To disable it, you need to disable JavaScript in your browser. This can be done in your web browser settings. But because of this, sometimes the parameters of the entire page are lost. It will not display correctly or give an error. After all, there are many different scripts running there, and not just one that blocks the selection.

If the service has such protection, it is better to figure out how to copy the global network resource page in another way. For example, you can take a screenshot.

Screenshot

A screenshot is the easiest way to add some information to your computer. It is saved as a graphic file. It can be opened and viewed at any time. Here's how to take a screenshot:

Go to the desired portal.
Press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard (sometimes called "PrntScr" or "PrtSc"). The screenshot will be added to the clipboard - temporary storage used during Copy-Paste operations.
Open any graphics editor. The Windows operating system has its own - called “Paint”. You can use it. It allows you to crop and slightly adjust the screenshot. For more serious graphics editing, you need to install professional programs on your computer (Adobe Photoshop, for example). But to simply make a copy of the page, Windows’ own tools are enough.
Paste the screenshot into the editor. To do this, press Ctrl+V.
You can also add it to a word processor (the same Word), which supports working with graphics.

The information will be presented as a solid picture, rather than a set of symbols. If you need to copy some part of the material, you will have to retype it manually. After all, a screenshot is not an article. To make the task easier, use utilities for recognizing text from pictures.

This makes it convenient to copy small pieces. But with voluminous content it’s more difficult. You will have to take a lot of pictures, scroll, and open the editor often. But you can figure out how to take a screenshot of the entire portal page, and not part of it. Use specialized programs.

Utilities for taking screenshots

There are programs for working with screenshots. With their help, you can cover the content completely, rather than screenshot it in pieces.

A popular application with a variety of functionality.
Web browser extension. You can take a picture of the entire page by simply clicking a button on the toolbar.
Shoots everything that can be captured: arbitrary areas, windows, large web resources. There are tools for editing the resulting images and a library of effects.
Automatically scrolls, takes a series of frames and independently combines them into one screenshot.

There are also online services that can generate a snapshot. They work on the same principle: insert a website address and get a picture. Here are some of them.

Thumbalizr
Snapito

Save as HTML file

Here's how to save a global network resource page to your computer in html format. It can later be converted to another type. When copying in this way, pictures from the web portal are placed in a separate folder, which will have the same name as the html file and is located in the same location as it.

Open the site.
Right-click anywhere free from pictures, backgrounds, videos and animations.
Select "Save As". In Mozilla Firefox, a similar button can be found in the menu. To do this, click on the icon with three horizontal lines. In Opera, these settings are called up by clicking on the logo.
Set a name. Specify the path.
Confirm the action.

In Google Chrome, you can create a PDF file from a page. This function is intended for printing on a printer. But copying to a computer is also available.

Click on the icon in the form of three lines (they are at the top right).
Click "Print" or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P.
Click "Edit".
“Save as PDF” item.
On the left panel, click the button with the same name again.
Give the file a name and path.

This feature is available exclusively in Chrome. Other web browsers require plugins. Printpdf for Firefox and Web2PDFConvert for Opera.

Utilities for saving entire sites

There are programs for copying entire global network resources. That is, with all the content, transitions, menus, links. You can “walk” on such a page as if you were on a real one. The following utilities are suitable for this:

HTTrack Website Copier.
Local Website Archive.
Teleport Pro.
WebCopier Pro.

There are many ways to transfer a website page to a PC. Which one to choose depends on your needs. If you want to save information to study it later, a simple screenshot is enough. But when you need to work with this data, edit it, add it to documents, it is better to copy it or create an html file.

When using the VKontakte social network from a computer, you must have encountered the possibility of saving a password for this site. There is nothing unusual here - this opportunity applies equally to any modern site that has a registration form.

Often, due to their own ignorance or certain actions, users deprive themselves of the opportunity to save important data. In the case of VKontakte, this has unpleasant consequences. Especially if you use several VK accounts in one system regularly.

Saving a password for VK

When entering the VKontakte website, users of the most modern browsers are faced with a window through which the Internet browser saves the entered data in a separate database and provides it to you if necessary. You also have the opportunity to refuse to save your password, which may cause some difficulties later.

It is recommended to save VKontakte passwords in your browser no matter what. The only exception is when you are temporarily using someone else's computer and want to prevent strangers from accessing your page.

Difficulties may arise for users of different web browsers. At the same time, the solution to such a problem is individual in nature.

In order for VKontakte passwords to be stored properly, you must follow some recommendations.

If you use anonymous browsers, among other things, you reduce the additional chance of your account being hacked. Also, various VPN extensions are an ideal alternative to such browsers.

Saving VK passwords in Google Chrome

This Internet browser is used by the largest number of users, which is why there are many more people facing the problem of the inability to save VK passwords in Chrome. Of course, all these problems are easily solvable.

If you have already saved data from VKontakte, it is recommended to open “Settings” in the same item, find this information and delete it.

After all the steps taken, the problem should be solved the first time you log into VKontakte. Otherwise, try completely reinstalling the Google Chrome browser.

Saving VK passwords in Yandex Browser

Yandex Browser works on a similar principle to Chrome, but has its own unique features in terms of settings. That is why it deserves separate consideration.

If when using a Yandex web browser you do not have passwords saved, we proceed according to the following scheme.

This concludes the problem with VKontakte in Yandex.Browser. If you still encounter difficulties, try clearing the list of data saved for VK through “Password Management”.

Saving VK passwords in Opera

If you have problems logging in due to storing outdated data, you should simply delete the problematic information through “Manage Saved Passwords.” Typically, Opera users have a minimal number of problems with saving information from the VKontakte website.

Saving VK passwords in Mozilla Firefox

This web browser runs on its own engine, which is why many fans of Chromium-based browsers here may encounter difficulties with the slightest problems. Difficulties with saving passwords for VKontakte via Firefox can be attributed to this number.

If you continue to have difficulties, try clearing the password history of the VKontakte website through “Saved Logins”. Otherwise, reset the settings or reinstall this Internet browser.

Saving VK passwords in Internet Explorer

The least popular due to difficulty in management is Internet Explorer. Very often, users encounter difficulties saving personal data from VK in this web browser.

Solving problems with saving passwords depends entirely on what browser you are using. We wish you good luck in solving all difficulties!

We are glad that we were able to help you solve the problem. Ask your question in the comments, describing the essence of the problem in detail. Our specialists will try to answer as quickly as possible.

How to save a page from the Internet to your computer

Hello dear blog readers. The Internet is full of a wide variety of information. With a little searching, you can find the answer to many, many questions. Often the information found is needed more than once and must be returned to again and again. Therefore, you must be aware of how to save a page from the Internet to a computer or laptop. This information is needed by users who want to save the page in order to view it on a device where there is no Internet.

To do this, you can save the address of a useful page in a separate text file or in your Internet browser bookmarks. But this option has a couple of disadvantages. First, to access information, it must be downloaded from the Internet again each time. And second, the site administrator may consider the information useful to you unnecessary, thereby deleting it or moving it to the archive. The solution to this problem is to save the site page to your computer.

Today we will look at how to do this correctly. You can, of course, simply select the text on the page, copy and save it to a file, for example using MS Word, Open Office or other text editors. But in this case, only the text itself will be copied, its formatting will be lost, and the pictures in the text may not be copied immediately with the text.

Save page in different browsers

To save data in the form in which they are presented on the site, you need to save the entire web page. To understand that the page in the browser was loaded not from the Internet, but from the local hard drive, you need to look at the address bar in the browser. In the case of a saved page, it will contain an address like this: “file:///[path to your file].” The following is in order. To do this in the Internet Explorer browser, while on the desired page, do one of the following actions. Click the “File” menu - “Save As”, or select “Page” - “Save As” on the right side of the screen, or press the key combination “Ctrl” + “S”.

Useful: in new versions of browsers, the top bar is hidden; to activate it, press the “ALT” button. In the window that appears, you need to select a location on your hard drive to save the file.

In this window you also need to select the type of the received file. Let's consider the possible options.

Full web page. The result of saving in this type will be a file containing the page text and HTML code, plus a folder with pictures.

Web page, HTML only. The result will be similar to the previous one, only without pictures.

Text file. As a result of saving, you will receive a simple text file in an inconvenient form for reading, which will contain all the HTML code and text available on the page.

Web archive is the most convenient option. The output will be a single file containing everything. When you double-click on such a file, a browser will open and the saved page will appear in it in its original form, it will be loaded from the hard drive of your computer.

In the Opera browser, to save a page, you need to click on the “Opera” button in the upper left corner of the window, select “Page” - “Save Page”, or use the “File” menu or press the above key combination. The options for the final file types are the same as in the previous case.

If you use the Mozilla Firefox browser, then everything is similar to the previous case.

The keyboard shortcut also works in the Google Chrome browser, but if you use mouse buttons, click “Settings and controls Google Chrome” in the upper right side of the window, and select “Save page as” in the menu.

Another difference in Google Chrome is the lack of a file type for saving “Text Document” and “Web Archive”.

How to save a website page to your computer

This saving method is suitable for all popular programs: Google Chrome, Yandex, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer.

How to save a page from the Internet to your computer

1. Right-click on an empty area of the page. From the list, select “Save as...”.

The main thing is to place the cursor where there are no pictures, buttons or advertisements.

A list similar to this should appear, from which we select “Save as...” or “Save page as...”.

right mouse button - Save as...

If you don’t find such an item or the list doesn’t open at all, press the Ctrl+S key combination (hold down the Ctrl key on your computer keyboard, then the English letter S, then release both keys).

2. A save window will appear, where you need to select the location on your computer where the site page will be sent.

Save window

For example, I want to write it to the Local Drive D of my computer in the “Articles” folder. So, in the window on the left side I select drive D.

Selecting a location on the computer

And inside I open the folder I need - I double-click on it with the left mouse button.

Selecting the desired folder

3. If necessary, change the name and click “Save”.

Changing the name and saving

After this, the page is downloaded to your computer. This usually lasts a few seconds. You will need to look for it in the place you chose in point 2.

As a rule, pages from the Internet are saved to the computer along with folders.

Saved site page

You just need to open the file. The folder contains what the page consists of (except for text) - pictures, design, etc. You can say this is a service folder. If you remove it, the text will open - without pictures or design.

It turns out a little inconvenient, especially if you need to save several pages. A separate folder will be created for each of them, which is not used, but cannot be deleted.

How to save a website page as PDF

This method is good because only one file is saved on the computer, without a folder. But to open it, a special program for reading pdf files must be installed. This is a popular format, so often such a program already exists.

To check, simply save this article as a pdf and try opening it. If it opens, then the program is there. And if the file cannot run, there is no program. You can download it here.

Instructions for saving

1. Right-click on an empty area of the page. From the list, select “Print...”. Or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P (English)

2. In the “Printer” column, click “Change”.

The window looks different in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers. But the principle is the same: from the list of printers you need to select the item that contains the abbreviation “PDF”.

P.S.

Neither the first nor the second method leads to an ideal result. Sometimes the page looks a little crooked or is written along with advertisements and other unnecessary things. Personally, this doesn’t bother me, but there are times when you need to get a “clean” result. Then you should save it differently - copy it to Word and edit there. You can learn this by following this link.

And there is also such a thing as “Bookmarks”. This is something like a notebook in the browser itself (an Internet program). You can very quickly record any page there, but it will only open if the Internet is available. Read more about this here.

How to view a deleted VKontakte user page

If a person has deleted his personal VKontakte page, then when you try to view it, you will receive an error message. But what if you desperately need the information that was on it?

There are several methods that allow you to view deleted VKontakte pages.

We use a webarchive
Viewing a copy of the page in search engines
View Browser Cache
Conclusion

You will find it useful: how to view a closed VKontakte group.

We use a webarchive

This is a service that stores the history of websites. In it you can try to find a text copy of the page that was published.

https://archive.org/

For some reason, Roskomnadzor blocked access to it, so use any anonymizer (see VK anonymizer). Or try changing the IP - put the address of another country (see how to find out the IP address of someone else's computer using VK ID).

On the main page of the archive, there is a “Wayback Machine” block. Here you need to enter the address of the remote page and press Enter.

Pay attention to the interface. There is a calendar at the top of the screen. It displays the available copies of the page. If there are several, you can view each of them. Let's try to zoom out to 2012 and see what was on my page at that time. We select the desired date on the calendar and get this result.

If the deleted page is not in the archive, you will receive a message like this.

Viewing a copy of your profile in search engines

Yandex and Google add information about all found pages on the Internet to their database. This also applies to VK accounts. The copy version changes with each database update (of course, if there are changes). This process takes several days.

If a user recently deleted their page, there is a chance that search engines still have a saved copy of it. And we can review it.

Let's see what it looks like in Yandex.

To make the operating principle more clear, consider a copy that is guaranteed to exist.

We go to Yandex and type your account address in the search.

The same principle applies to Google.

Now let's try to view the saved copy. To do this, expand the additional menu (the triangle-shaped button is located next to the address). Here, click on “Saved Copy”.

Now try the same steps for the remote page you want to see.

View Browser Cache

Every time you open a website page, your browser saves a copy of it to its history. This is done so that when you open it again, you do not have to download it again via the Internet, but instantly provide you with a ready-made copy. This significantly increases the speed of work.

If you recently visited the user's page, there is a chance that it is in the browser cache and you can view it.

Let's do this using Mozilla Firefox as an example.

Enable offline mode. To do this, open the menu, then the “Development” item, and then check the “Work offline” checkbox.

Now in the address bar of the browser, you need to indicate the URL of the desired page and press “Enter”. If a copy exists, it will be loaded. If not, you will see an error message.

I reviewed all three methods in video format.
