I think that's the wrong way of doing things.

Is it the whole site or just a page.

Adobe have some wonderful tools called Dreamweaver and Fireworks which
will do the job better.

you could do a screen capture with a alt print screen and then create a new
document based upon the clipboard and then paste it. Two things though...
one is no functionality of the links and two is the little thing called
copyright.

Do that. Dreamweaver has a background tracing image feature that lets you
put a picture 'under' the page. The picture can be set in Dreamweaver with
various degrees of transparency. Note that this is purely for WYSIWYG
(Design View) work.

It is under Modify - Page Properties - Tracing Image.

I've never found it ful, but it's there for some reason.

The copyright thing is something to consider quite seriously.

Hum, background tracing feature. Never seen it, like you not sure what i
would use it for, but i will check it out!

Thanks

Agreed. But on many web sites the print function does not work correctly, and
the easiest way to get an acceptable printout for reference purposes is to do
one (or several!) alt print screens, tack them together, and then print the
resulting image.

James McNangle

been there done that. Then crop off the window part.

I should have been a bit more clear. It is just a single page.

For those that mention copyright, you are correct. However, I'm not doing
this to create a brand new design based on an existing one that I will
rerelease on the net. Rather, there are blog sites that I just completely
admire and I want to learn how to design similar themes. I feel this would
be a good way as I need hands on experience.

Good browsers (may leave out Missie) have an ability to "View Source". You
can then see how it was done, copy/paste the parts you need to study into a
text editor and then build your knowledge base that way.
