Depends on what content the page has and how the layout is in HTML. I have 3 ways of saving:
1. as a web page - HTML only
2. as a complete web page - HTML and assets (images, etc)
3. a copy & paste into Word or a memo program
a lot of web pages nowadays, especially in blogs have so much crap like tracking links and advertising. When I save via #1 or 2, I first go into Firebug and delete DOM elements that clutter up the saved HTML.
If I copy & paste into Word, it copies the markup info like hyperlinks. If I don't want this, I first copy into Notepad, then into Word, to get rid of this.
