How to Save 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.

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)

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 "Save Picture As"

Downloading NonWeb Page Files
It is highly recommended that when accessing NON-WEB PAGE file links, such as DOC, PDF, PPT, etc., that you RIGHT Click on the links and use the "Save As" option to 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.

Opening PDF files
This web site contains a large number of documents in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format). You can DOWNLOAD a FREE version of the Adobe Acrobat reader, which is available free of charge from www.adobe.com
