PostPosted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:23 pm    Post subject: Copying a web page

when I select and copy a web page, then paste into Neo office, the text appears, and the details of the graphics, but not the graphics themselves.

How do I copy text and graphics together from a web page to neo Office?

thanks,

If you're trying to replicate the look of a web page in a NeoOffice Writer doc, the only way to do that directly is by taking a screenshot and inserting it as an image. There's a very handy FireFox extension called Screengrab which allows you to make a screenshot of the entire web page (i.e. not just the visible portion if it's longer than will fit on one screen) and then save it as an image either to disc or straight to the clipboard, which would speed things up for you.

The layout you see in your browser window is html etc. rendered by the browser engine - that's not something that OSX can copy to the clipboard. What you're getting in the clipboard is all the text plus the text tags for any of the images - or the image urls. You can copy the images by doing individual Copy Image from the contextual menu in your browser, and then pasting them to your NeoOffice doc, but I'm pretty sure there's no tool that can copy a web page wholesale including the images as text/images, and maintain the layout.

If you do find anything, do let us know.

yoxi is correct: an HTML page with images is really not one item but several items and Mac OS X's system clipboard does not know how to handle copying multiple items.

Instead of using a screen snapshot though, I would recommend that you select your web browser's File :: Save As menu and save the complete web page. This will create an HTML file and a matching folder (the matching folder is where your web browser saves the images in the web page). Then you should be open the HTML file in NeoOffice.

You can also use a non-default toolbar item (I think it is called "Load Location" but I'm not positive) to give NeoOffice the address of the web page, and it will load the page directly from the web.

That said, Patrick's method makes more sense (just make sure the pop-up menu at the bottom of the Save dialogue in your browser is set to "HTML Complete" or the like; it may default to something else).

Good point. You can add this toolbar by selecting the View :: Toolbars :: Customize menu and in the dialog that appears, click on the Toolbar tab, check the Load URL checkbox, and press the OK button.

A text field will be added to your main toolbar. Copy the URL from your web browser, paste it into that field, and press the Return key to load the web page in NeoOffice.
