Hi All
Small website issue retention issue.
Story
In our business we visit a lot of random websites from which we grater
information. Currently we print the relevant information and place it into a
file. A pen and ink system that is fastly exceeding our ability to manage.
I would like to move much of this to a computer but have no idea of how.
If I take a screen shot of the relevant websites I am limited in size as to
what appears on the screen which does not even began to cover the length of
some of the documents.
If I save the information in HTML I then have a dozen or so folders and sub
folders for the various pictures that are included with the central data.
In MS Windows I can print a file to a file by one of the printer functions.
Not sure if this can be done in Linux but the results in Windows is that you
have a print file which if memory serves me correctly is not searchable.
If I high-light, copy, and past into OpenOffice or any other word processor
what I get may be usable then again it may not be usable which does mitigate
the fact that for a large number of web pages, thousands, this is really
inconvenient.
So my question is how can one save what is open on a website say as a MS
Office .doc or OpenOffice OO file which is searchable, has the same
information, and does not take 10 minutes or so per page to do? [I am assume
of course that the website is something like HTML not something like Adobe
Acrobat.]
Thanks
Frank
