I'm not that familiar with how Word saves web pages. If you want to preserve the actual links used, it's good to have the saved HTML code. I do that in MSIE by selecting "Source" from the "View" submenu. You get a Notepad or Wordpad with the HTML text and can save from there.

Oh, it's much easier to use "File|Save As...". It saves each page as you've loaded it, plus it puts copies of any referenced images in their own subfolder.

So, for example, I have these files saved:

• New Dinosaur Species Found in India 1.html
• New Dinosaur Species Found in India 251.html
• New Dinosaur Species Found in India 501.html

(Why AM I doing this??? I dunno. Why do I have over 100 hours of Zippergate on VHS?)

I use "Save As ..." for many purposes as well. It's far easier, unless you want to repost to another thread after, say, the original thread is yanked. Those local copies of the images are as you say sitting on your HD. Your "saved" HTML has in fact been changed point to the local copies and not to the original sources on the web. The information of how to link the original sources has been lost, although you may be able to google it up again. Reposting will take some work.

Why do I have over 100 hours of Zippergate on VHS?

I did for a long time, but I'm starting to recycle the cassettes. I'm starting to think of it as "How we almost made Al Gore an incumbent in 2000."

Schadenfreude?

Thread-saving is a practice I regret not making a habit. There was a thread--I even forget how long ago--where I explicitly calculated how a faster-than-light signal reaches backwards in time. I would dearly love to find it; Google comes up dry.
