FETCHING WEB PAGES--Ways to Fetch Web Pages

There are alternate ways of fetching a Web page (for example, if you are not using Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer):

  • You can choose Open from the File menu to open an html file.
  • You can choose Location from the Fetch menu, then enter the URL of the location you require.
  • You can copy and paste one or more URLs from a document into the print list area of the WebRecord window.
  • You can drag and drop a hyperlink directly from the main window of your browser into the WebRecord print list.
  • You can add a local file name (or file names) by dragging and dropping from, for example, Windows Explorer to the WebRecord print list.
  • You can drag and drop an Internet shortcut from your desktop to the WebRecord print list
  • After you have fetched a Web page, you can fetch linked pages.

Opening an HTML file

You open an html file by choosing Open from the File menu, then finding or entering the name of the file you want to open and clicking the Open button. The URL is then displayed in the WebRecord print list area.

Copying and pasting URLs

You can copy URLs from another application and paste them into the WebRecord print list area, rather than retyping them. Multiple lines of text can be pasted into the WebRecord print list area, and each will be treated as a URL.

This also works in reverse: listed items can be selected and copied to the clipboard, then saved in a text file. This is a handy way of saving a large print list for later restoration.
