Saving Information
- after you have found the page with the information you need:
1. Click on "File" at the top of your
browser
2. Click on "Save As"
3. Name the file and choose where you want the file (page) saved on
your computer. If you have a more recent web browser, any pictures
on the page you save will be saved to a folder with the same name and
in the same location you selected for the saved file.
Saving
Pictures - the best way to save
a photo or picture is to RIGHT CLICK
on the picture. This will open a menu with the option to COPY the
image - after you copy the picture you should immediately PASTE it into
a document to save the image. You may also SAVE the image but if
you do not have a graphic editing program you may not be able to open
the image file.
Editing Saved Pages
- any web page you have saved to your computer can be opened and edited
with your word processor. Be sure that AFTER YOU EDIT, you
"SAVE AS" a new file in the correct
format for your word processor so you end up with a document not a web
page. As an example, if you use Microsoft Word, be sure to SAVE
your changes as a MS WORD document (.doc).
Using a Word
Processor - Every word
processor has different default "formats". This may make the saved
web pages look different than the online page on our site. To reformat
saved pages, check the MARGIN and PAGE settings for that page when
opened in your word processor. Additionally, the FONT or type-face
may be different than the online page. To change type-face simply
use your mouse to highlight any text and change the font size and type
to meet your needs.
Downloading PDF
files
- This web site contains a large number of
documents in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format). In order to access
PDF files, you must have the 3.x or higher version of the reader, which
is available free of charge from Adobe Software. Click on Acrobat Image
to get Adobe Acrobat free.
Downloading
Non-Web Files
- It is highly recommended that when
accessing NON-WEB PAGE (html) file links, such as DOC, PDF, PPT, etc.,
that you RIGHT Click on the hyper
links and save these files directly to your computer. Attempting to view
these files through your browser with a plug-in viewer (particularly
large files > .5 MB), can result in technical difficulties and the need
for unnecessary/multiple downloads.
