in Internet Explorer or Netscape...
- Again, be sure there's a blank disk in Drive A.
- Open the Start button to do a *Find* on Internet Explorer's Favorites
file, or Netscape's Bookmarks file.
- Then, in the Find box, right-click the file and select *Send To
Floppy*.
By the way, don't forget to look for the right

N3 - How To copy text from your
browser into a word processor...
- Simply select the text and press Ctrl + C.
- Next, you move to the word processor and press Ctrl + V to paste
the text.
If your word processor recognizes all the web formatting (as MS
Word does), you can paste with the formatting intact.
If you want to lose the formatting, you can paste first into Notepad
and then copy the Notepad contents and
paste that into your word processor.

Method 2:
- Instead of just clicking on a link, right-click it.
- A menu will pop up. Click on *Open in New Window*.
- Shazam -- you dood it!
Both Methods work the same for Internet Explorer, Netscape, &
Opera.
Why To...
When going to a new Web page, it's a good practice open the new page in a new browser window if you plan on navigating
back to the original page. That way you don't have to wait for the original page to re-load -- just close the new
page you opened and your first page is still there.
This tactic is handy if your connection is slow and the sites you
visit are large, or if you're searching a lot of different sites and don't want to lose track of your starting
point. You can have lots of browser windows open at once, too.
