When you save anything from the Internet, be sure to obey copyright laws.  They are  important if you plan to use material from someone else's page on your own Web page or otherwise distribute it.  A great deal of material on the Web is free; be sure to protect rights of authorship and give credit where credit is due. 

The easiest way to save what  you find on the Internet is to print it.  You can print any page just by clicking your browser's Print button.   

You can also save a Web page as a file on your computer, but this is very rarely desirable.  Text and graphics on Web pages are separate files.  When you save a page, you save only its text.  Each graphical element must be saved separately as a picture.  For those occasions when you want to save the whole text portion of a page, you can choose File from the browser's menu bar, and click on Save.  (If you're uncertain about how to navigate the Windows 95 SaveAs dialog box, click here.)   

A better method for saving text is just to copy the paragraphs you want from a Web page and then paste it into a word processor.  You can copy snippets of text from many pages this way and save it all (along with addresses and your own comments) in a single word processor file.   

Here's how to copy and paste in Windows 95... 

1. Open a Word Processor.  Open any word processor you wish without closing your browser.  For example, you can click on the Start button at lower left, click on Programs, then on Accessories, then on Word Pad (it comes in Windows 95).
2. Practice Switching between the Browser and the Word Processor.  Next to your Start button, you should see a button for your browser and a button for your word processor.  Click on one and then the other to change the window appearing on your screen.
3. Copy Text from a Web Page.  You can drag your mouse over some paragraphs on this page, for example.  Once the text is selected (highlighted), hold down the Control key while pressing C.  Nothing seems to happen, but the highlighted text is copied into memory.
4. Paste the Text in the Word Processor.  Switch to the word processor.  Click on the page.  Hold down the Control key and press V to paste the text in.

When you're finished with your session, you can save the document you've created in the word processor to keep a permanent record of what you've found.
