Downloading a Text File From the Web

Most Web pages have images for text. These images are not part of the Web page and if you wish to download them along with the text, you must use Web page complete to save the page. To do this:

1. Have the window with the file you wish to use as the active window.
2. Depending on your browser:
   1. In Firefox Click on "File>Save Complete Page."
   2. In Internet Explorer click File>Save As
      1. In the bottom of the window, click the down triangle next to Save as type.
      2. Select Webpage complete.
3. Note the name of the folder where the document is going and the name of the file. The folder will be listed next to "save in" and the name will be at the bottom of that pop up window. You may want to write this down.
4. Click on Save

 

Downloading an Image
