Saving text

Saving a whole page of text
Save a whole page of text by following these steps:

Click on File in the top menu;
On the drop-down menu, click your mouse on Save As.
(Or, alternatively, you can press CTRL+S.)
This will take you to the Save As box.
There is a suggested name for the file in the File Name box, and you can use that or select your own.
Depending on the Web browser you are using, you will have a few options for the type of file you want to save to. The following options are relevant to Internet Explorer 5:
- To save all of the files needed to display the web page, including graphics, frames, and style sheets, click Web Page, complete. This option saves each file in its original format.
- To save all of the information needed to display this page in a single MIME-encoded file, click Web Archive. This option saves a snapshot of the current Web page. This option is available only if you have installed Outlook Express 5 or later.
- To save just the current HTML page, click Web Page, HTML only. This option saves the information on the Web page, but it does not save the graphics, sounds, or other files.
- To save just the text from the current Web page, click Text Only. This option saves the information on the Web page in straight text format.

NOTES:
With Web Page, complete and Web Archive, you can view all of the Web page at a later stage, even if you are disconnected from the Internet. When you choose Web Page, complete, only the current page is saved.

Save a portion of text
This method works when saving the full page, but it is most helpful when saving just a portion of the text. Use the example text below to try it out!

You need to make sure you have another application, such as a word processor or notepad, open so that you have a place to put the text.
Now, copy the whole text by placing the cursor anywhere on the page and selecting all of the text by pressing CTRL+A.
The whole page will become highlighted; OR
To save just a portion of the page; hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor over the text you want until it becomes highlighted. Then press CTRL+C to copy it.
You then need to paste it onto the notepad or other application. Move the cursor onto that second application
press CTRL+V. This will place the text, in a text format, onto this other application, where you can save it, as you would save any text you've just typed in.

Example text:

"Violence against women is an obstacle to
the achievement of the objectives of equality, development and peace.
Violence against women both violates and
impairs or nullifies the enjoyment by women
of their human rights and fundamental freedoms"
