Hi! I'm new to this site and new to the games also. I've played Morrowind for about a couple of hours and I absolutely love it so far. Wanting to finish it to move on to Oblivion, I read the wiki for information on how to do quests easily. But my current place won't be having an internet connection for awhile, so is there any way to "download" wiki pages/info for offline reading? Thanks for the help. And oh, if this is the wrong forum/section, can a mod/admin move it to the right one please? Thanks again.

You're in the right spot :) you could try using the "print-screen" button. It'll take a picture of what's on the screen. If your on firefox, there is an extension that allows you to save the whole page as a jpg file

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm using firefox. What is the name of that plug-in/extension? I might try it. And are there any other suggestions? >_<

I left click, highlight, copy, and then paste into a word document. I then print them up, and put them in a binder. I have them in word documents, and also a hard copy, so I don't have to exit if I have a question.

The easiest solution is to just press the "Printable Version" button in the sidebar, once you do you get a nice version of the page, minus the tool bars. So if you wanted to get a version of a bestiary page, by simply pressing the "Printable Version" button you'll get this. You can either copy it to your computer or print it from here.

I usually save the pages as they are, a simple Ctrl+S does it in Google Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer, probably in Firefox too. To read the saves you need a browser, but not Internet.

A problem are the links in web pages, they don't follow automatically. If I remember correctly, I got the whole system running by having the main page + linked pages in the same folder. It may take a little trying, possibly re-linking, but you can have it all working "as in having an Internet connection".

Thanks for the reply everyone. I decided to use the printable version since it's easier. Thanks again. ^^
