One of my courses this semester has an online book, and I would like to print the pages out from time to time. What I would like to do is copy the website and paste it into a word document so that I can decrese the size of the font. THE PROBLEM IS!!!! It does not copy the images along with the text! I have tried copying it to dreamweaver and it didn't copy the images over also.

Any suggestions on what I can do. I have done this before on a windows pc and it has worked fine.

You should be able to use your web browser to reduce the font size then print the page.

Perhaps it is a limitation of Office for the Mac as the following works fine - in Safari, select the text plus images, go to the menubar and click Safari>Services>TextEdit and choose "New Window containing selection." A TextEdit document will be created in the background containing your selection. The links should remain clickable when you do this too.



Alternatively, in your browser, reduce the font size to what you wish it to be. Go to Print... and use either of the two buttons at the left bottom to Save it as a PDF - the left hand button lets you view the output in Preview first, prior to either printing it or saving it, the right hand one will let you save it as a PDF straight away.



Unfortunately, any links will not be clickable in the PDF if you do this.

FWIW, you can create PDFs like this in any app in OS X.

Internet Explorer (yes, yes, I know) is able to store entire sites with links and images as an archived WAFF file.
