If all you want is the content of the current page then just saving it as an HTML file will work. However, if you want the links to work then you have to be careful to save the pages in the correct hierarchy or the links won't work.

In Netscape, right click and use 'save page as'.

You may run into issues if the page contains frames.

The best way is just to add the page to your favourites/bookmarks.

If you have any "full version" of Adobe Acrobat from version 3 on up, you can either "print" the page through the PDFWriter print driver, or "capture" the page within Acrobat, with options for how many levels of associated pages to save, and also quality settings. It will parse URL links and make them "clickable" within the Acrobat document.

Be careful if you try and capture 2 or 3 levels as you could end up downloading hundreds of linked pages!

Other than that, it's a great way of capturing pages.

As mentioned, sites which use frames may cause problems ...

If you change the file format to "archive," you can save pages pretty effectively.

But if all you want to do is refer back to them, jut bookmark them (add to favorites). The only time you would need to save is if the content is transient.

Just use IE to save as .MHT
It will save images and text and preserver formating. You can print to PDF too but you need full version of Acrobat which costs a lot.
