Have you figured out how to capture a web page? I have tried 2 things:
1. copy a page and manually paste it into a “text note.”
2. create a “web link” item
Option 1 works OK, except it’s manual, the formatting is not perfect, and for some reason there are lots of bizarre text symbols added into the text. And there is no storage of the source URL.
Option 2 seems to just pull up a web browser and you have to browse to a web page, and it’s not clear the page is ever actually saved - it’s just like using a web browser where nothing is captured.
Am I missing an option? I seem to remember that in Zoot 5 this was a strength - you could click the “Zooter” and pull a page right into Zoot (without formatting). I don’t see that.

Dan, when the web page is active, left click the Zooter and choose Web. Works for me (about the only thing I have managed up to now ....)

Thanks Graham. That works perfectly. Quite impressive, really—all formatting is retained, I guess because he’s using the IE plugin.
