Hi, If you guys are like me, you often save a web page for off-line viewing or archiving purposes. I also often print out a web page for leisure reading, but more often than I wish, the printout is clipped (firefox is a big culprit here) or the output is not as good as it could be.
I knew I could open URL's via Gnome's gEdit text editor (File | Open Location). So I thought to myself - I wonder if OpenOffice Writer could do the same. What a welcome surprise, it can! "File | Open | and enter the URL | click Open". Wait a few seconds and the web page with images will appear in OpenOffice Writer. Now I can save it as a single ODT file, delete unwanted ads and do minor formatting before I print. :-) Now I wish Firefox had an extension to save as OpenDocument Text (odt), but using OpenOffice directly works just as well. One limitation though, is that OpenOffice Writer doesn't support opening a webpage that contains frames.
