How Do I Copy a Web Page Into a Word Document?

Copy a web page to Word.

You can copy text, links and images from a web page and place them in Word. You may paste your contents with or without formatting and then modify your page. When you paste contents from a web page in hypertext markup language (HTML) format, the contents don't appear exactly the same way they do in a web browser. You should paste your page in HTML format if you want to keep links and images from the web page.

Instructions

1. Open the web page you want to copy in a web browser.

2. Use your mouse to highlight the areas of the web page. Copy the information by selecting "Edit" and "Copy" (or use the shortcut keys "Ctrl" and "C").

3. Close or minimize the browser, then open a new or existing document in Microsoft Word.

4. Place your cursor where the web page contents will go, then click on "Edit" and "Paste Special."

5. Choose "Unformatted Text" to paste the text from the web page (without any formatting) or "HTML Format" to insert the contents with links and formatting and click "OK."
