Saving website test to your computer...Copy and paste method
First, highlight the
text you want to save, then either right click in the highlighted area and
choose "Copy" or go to the menu bar, click on "Edit",
then scroll down to "Copy" and click, or you can use the
keyboard combination [Ctrl] + [C]. The highlighted text is now
copied to your clipboard. Now you have a couple of options.
You can print the highlighted selection. Actually, you don't have
to copy the text into your clipboard if you just are going to
print it. After highlighting the text, right click on the selected
text and choose print, or go to "File", then down to
"Print" to get your print dialog box. In the box you
will find some options concerning what you want to print. In mine it
is called "Print Range" and has several options,
including "selection". This option will print just
the highlighted text. (Here is a little "extra" for
you...this also works in emails! If you just want to print part of an
email and not the whole thing, highlight the text you want to print
and use the "print selection" option. Save that paper!!!) |

|
| Here is a second option. After selecting and copying the text
as in the first option, open up Microsoft Word (other word processing
programs may have some similar features, I am a Microsoft Office user
and thus have Word). In the new, open document, right click and choose
paste, or go to "Edit", down to "paste"
and click, or use the keyboard combination [Ctrl]+[V]. The text
will be pasted with all the formatting. Any hyperlinks in the page
will be useable, that is, you can click them and they will work.
Graphics will not be saved with the text, however. |

Here is the output in Word |
| The third option will give you a different output. Select the
text by highlighting it as above, and copy it to your clipboard. Now
in your Word document go to the menu bar, click on "Edit",
then scroll down to "Paste special" and click. Now
you will get a dialog box that will give you some choices, Formatted
Text (rtf) and unformatted text. Choose unformatted text and
click "OK". Your text will be pasted into the
document without any text formatting (bold, italics, etc.). The
hyperlinks will not work, either. |
