I know I can save webarchive pages as pdf files but is there a way to save them as Numbers or Pages files? PDF won't work in this case because I need to be able to change the figures as and when needed.
I tried cutting and pasting from the webarchive page into a Numbers spreadsheet but it didn't copy the formatting so all the columns ended up as lines.
Thanx.

Try just copying the entire webpage or as much of it as you want into a generously sized Pages document.
It will get most of the formatting if it has room.

Jane,
A .webarchive follows HTML/CSS formatting rules that do not lend themselves to polite conversion, or copy/paste into Pages or Numbers documents. Guess you found that out.
There is a UNIX utility in OS X named textutil. It will take a .webarchive as input and output it in your choice of text, .doc, .docx which are formats you can get into Pages.
In the Finder, press shift+command+u and then double-click the Terminal application. The Terminal will open to your login directory. The syntax that you would enter is as follows, with the variable being your .webarchive file name. I use test.webarchive for brevity. Hyperlinks will not be preserved using textutil. The output file, in this example, will be test.docx.
textutil -convert docx test.webarchiveWhen done, just quit the Terminal.
Save webarchive page as Pages file?
