I saved a web page to the hard drive, which generated a
folder with all the art work files on that page. I can
read the whole stuff into Word (Word 2002 on XP-SP1).
Looking for a way to flatten everything out, so i can save
it to a self contained file with no references to the
outside. Thanks.
 
Hi Mike,

If the page contains graphics, you're going to be out of
luck.

If it's just text, try saving as a FILTERED web-page.

You could try this. Save the .htm file as a Word document. Then display
field codes (Alt+F9) so you can more easily identify what items are linked.
Then select each field code and press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it. This
should result in the graphics being embedded in the document.

Thanks Suzanne. The recipe worked. The only thing was
that I needed to save the result as a rtf file (the raw
format thingie). This increased the size from 700Kb to
7Mb. But yanno, space is cheap these days, (about 1$/Gig),
managing the space is NOT. Saving the file as doc, was
generating a file with all the pics, but none of the text
or background texture. Saving as htm, was throwing me to
square one, by generating a folder with 30 pics.
