[ILL-L] CONVERTING FILES

[Breedlove, W Stephen]

Occasionally, when filling requests from online journals, the article needed is a web page or html document.  These can't be converted into TIFFs or PDFs as far as I know.  Besides printing them out and scanning them into Ariel or Odyssey, is there any way to get them into a format, i.e., TIFF, that can be imported into Ariel or Odyssey?  I've tried just sending the article as an email attachment, but I'm afraid the recipient might not be able to read it.  When I send it through Microsoft Outlook Express, the message comes up that if the recipient is on Express, they might not be able to open it.(?)

I've tried all kinds of steps to get one of these files into a TIFF.  Have been able to make one a TEXT, but that loses the graphics from the original file.

I'm sure many people have run into this.  Has anyone found a way around it?
