Saving Web Images and Text

Saving Web Images and Text:

When you're surfing have you seen a really cool or lovely graphic image or picture and thought this would really be great to have? Well, saving non-copyrighted images is a pretty easy process.
Saving Pictures:

if you see a graphic image you want to save and retrieve later, just right-click over it. When you do, a list of options will appear. Choose the SAVE IMAGE AS or SAVE PICTURE AS option, and you'll get a chance to save the file to your local drive. Be sure to note the name and location of the file. You can use the default name (the name the Web page used for the file) or you can type in your own. (Please note: This feature is not availbale with Win 3.11)

Just for practice RIGHT CLICK on this picture and save it to your hard drive:

Test Pic 65k

This is a 19k image named earth.jpg
Why not practice renaming it too! Call it
anything you like, just remember what you called it.

Saving Text:

If you want to save some text, open your word processing program with a blank document. Then, switch back to your browser and use your mouse to select the text you want to copy. Press [Ctrl]C to copy the text, and then switch to your word processing program. Press [Ctrl]V to paste the text into your document. Then, you can save the document for future reference.

Practice on the text below:

Of note, the text you paste into your document may not look like the text you copied from the Web page, depending on how the text was formatted in the Web page. However, even if you have to do a little minor clean-up on the text you paste, that process is still faster than printing the Web page andretyping the text from scratch.

Often you can find a neat Java Script that is public. You would then want to use IE 3.0 or higher and RIGHT CLICK on the page and click VIEW SOURCE on the menu. You can then find the start of the script where the first tag that says "script" in <> brackets and ends with the </script> statement. Just highlight from the first script statement to the last script statement. This should be done with the help of someone with at least a rudimentary cut/paste knowledge.
