nope. the only thing you can do is save the web page to your desktop, and it'll save all dependant files in a folder and then the html file separately so you can open/view them offline

damn, how can I do it then as I have seen it done before.

you mean so that it comes out as a jpg? if so, i have no idea. but the way i suggested would work, too. only drawback would be that you'd have to open it with a web browser.

I know, but I need it to chuck into a word doc as part of a coursework piece.

Not sure what you mean, you want just the actual browser window with scroll bars and address bar, or just the actual site itself?

To do a long page you would have to double screenshot it and merge them in photoshop, no other way to do it.

there must be,

Those have quite likely just been cut and shut together with PS.

No way, somone I bought a camera off transferred me a screenshot of the invoice off the website he bought it off, he did it within a minute, thats longer than it would take to run it through PS surely/.

Maybe he's just running at a higher resolution so can get the whole page in?

thats a possibility, I will have to check tonight.
