Work Offline in IE9

[DonnaB]

Hello,

Maybe someone here can help me. I'm trying to figure out what working offline in IE9 is all about for the purpose of studying. I'd like to open up 3 links concerning a program that I am working on for my PL's in my training program but I don't want to stay logged in while I do so. How do I achieve this?

I know that to work offline I press Alt > F > W. But what does that do exactly? Can I save these links in Favorites and open them and not appear on line?

I can open the links and just disconnect from the internet and the links would be saved until I closed the tabs, though I would not have the ability to research.

:smile9:

If you're working offline with IE, the browser is not connected to the Internet. Clicking the saved links in Favorites will result in Internet Explorer going online to open the page. You could e-mail the three pages you want available for review while researching but you'd need to test that to see if you can work with the results.

A better method may be when you're ready to research, open the pages with IE and then switch to offline. Then, use an alternate browser for your research.

Hi Corrine,

Thank you for responding!

I wasn't sure how that worked. I had opened the tabs and switched to work offline with each tab then saved them to Favorites. I thought maybe they would be offline every time I opened the links till I went back and unchecked that option, but that option is (how should I say, "refreshed") every time I close the tabs and reopen them from Favorites, right?

A better method may be when you're ready to research, open the pages with IE and then switch to offline. Then, use an alternate browser for your research.

That would definitely work!

Another thought just crossed my mind, too! I could boot up my Vista and use that to view the reading material and use my Win7 to research and experiment with the program.

You could also experiment with e-mailing the page(s). From the Command Bar, select Page > Send Page by e-mail.

If you have Microsoft Office, and OneNote, you could also send the page(s) to OneNote (Tools > Send to OneNote).

Yes. I'll try that.

Hm...ok. Um. Yes. I have Microsoft Office but not OneNote. MSO must be the trial version. Now here's the kicker (don't laugh now, but) ---> I wouldn't now how to use MSO

Oh! For shame!
