How to Save, Download & Edit Files

  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.
