Thanks both of you - it doesn't have to be the current page but that would be best.
If there was a way to add the current page to the favourites list, for example, and then load from that or history or ... I'm trying to get specific pages which may be many levels down so it's not just a case of the main .com address. I guess I'll just copy and paste for now - it's too difficult - I just hoped there might be an easier way!
