[Is there some way to grab an html document, bound it and insert it in
reduced size in a document?]
I'm not sure (don't use MS Word) but I think it's not possible.
The best thing to do is make the entire document in HTML.
Or you could make a screenshot of the HTML file, then make it smaller and
put it as an image in Word.
I do not recommend this, since it may give some problems.
Besides, when you paste an image with small (below 14) text in Word, the
text won't be smooth but very "pixelly".
Obviously it gets worse when you also reduce the size of the image.
You may even not be able to read the text anymore.
For your convenience, here's an explaination how to do the screenshot
thing:
To make a screenshot you press the Print Screen button and then your entire
screen is on your clipboard.
(I hope your HTML document is not so large that it doesn't fit on one
screen.)
You can use for example
www.irfanview.com (freeware) to paste the
screenshot in, remove the start menu and other things, and reduce the size.
In IrfanView do the following after you pressed the Print Screen button
with the HTML document opened:
Edit -- Paste
You'll see the screenshot contains the entire screen, so also the start
menu, title bar etc.
Use your mouse to make a selection of the area of the screen you want to
keep, so the HTML document.
You do that by keeping the left mouse button pressed and moving the mouse
to draw a rectangle.
Then do: Edit -- Crop Selection.
If you crop a bit too much you can use Edit -- Undo.
You can resize the screenshot with:
Image -- Resize/Resample -- Set new size as percentage of original -- enter
a percentage -- press OK
Then you can either copy (Edit -- Copy) the image to your clipboard and
paste it in Word, or save the image (File -- Save) and insert the image in
Word.
If the HTML document is too large to fit on the screen, you can try zooming
out a little with the viewer program so it does fit.
But if that makes the document smaller than you wish to resize it, the only
solution I can give you is pretty complicated.
You'll have to make screenshots of every part and paste each one seperately
in an IrfanView window.
There you have to remove the start menu and taskbar etc. from them (very
precise!!).
Then you must open Paint and start a new image with the height of all the
screenshots put together.
(You can read the height in IrfanView, bottom-left corner, 123 x 4567 x 89
BPP. The number after the first "x" is the height.)
Then copy the parts in IrfanView, paste them all in Paint, and glue them
together.
You can't do that with IrfanView, but in Paint you can.
This is obviously a very precise job, requiring a lot of time...
Besides, if your HTML document is really large, the Paint image will be too
large for the memory.
Windows 98 computers usually have 64 to 128 MB of memory, while the latest
computers have at least 256 MB and often 512 MB.
This means the image editing will be very very slow if the HTML document is
too large.
And it will be very hard to glue the pieces accurately together when it
takes 10 seconds for the computer to execute every mouse movement you do.
So I think the best thing to do is just make the entire document HTML.
Perhaps someone else has a better idea?
Good luck!
