Q. I forgot how to save my e-mails. How do I save them in My Documents?
 

A. Select the text you want to save from the emails, press Ctrl C for Copy, open Word, and press Ctrl V to Paste. Go to File and Save As: filename in My Documents folder.

 

Q. How do I save them to a floppy disk?

A. Select the filenames in My Documents or wherever folder you have them, right-click anywhere in the highlighted selection and select Send to floppy drive A: and they should start flying.


Q. How do I forward a group of e-mails to another account?

A. Select the emails you want to send by clicking on the first one to highlight it and then hold down the Shift key if the files are next to each other in the list or Ctrl if they're separated, click on Forward and type in the email address and subject, then click on Send. The emails go through as attachments.

Q. How do I save Favorites to disk?

A. In Windows XP, with Internet Explorer open, click on File and Import and Export. This opens the Import/Export Wizard, click Next, click on Export Favorites and Next. Select the folder or folders you want to save to disk (such as SBC Yahoo DSL) and click Next. If the radio button beside Export to a File or Address isn't selected, click in it to select it; the default is to save the file in My Documents or you can send it to a floppy disk or CD burner. The file exports as bookmark.htm, a web file and therefore can be directly imported into another browser.

Q. Can I print Favorites?

A. You can open the exported file, but since it's in .htm format, it won't make a lot of sense unless you know how to program web pages. What you can do, is open a word processor or two-column spreadsheet document and then Copy and Paste the individual Favorites items. Grab the right edge of the Favorites window and drag it as far to the right as possible so you can see all of the link title, highlight and Copy and Paste the title, then click on the title to open the site and in the address bar, highlight and Copy and Paste the address into your form. Pressing Alt and Tab will move you between windows easily. When you've completed your file, be sure to Save As and you can print the file whenever you wish.


*If left or right mouse click is not designated, left click.
