Printing, Saving, and Copying

After locating and retrieving your information, Britannica CD lets you print pages, save pages to files, and copy selected text to your computer's clipboard.

Printing Pages

Before attempting to print, make sure that you have specified a printer through the Control Panel in Microsoft Windows. Your computer must also be connected to a printer, either directly or through a known network. If you need help setting up your printer, refer to your printer documentation and your Microsoft Windows User Manual.

To print the current page:

ile

rint

2. From the Print dialog box, you can print the entire article, select a range of pages, or change the printer setup.

3. Click OK to print the pages you want or press Enter.

The default setting prints the entire document, even the portion you would have to scroll to see on the screen.

You can also preview the print first before actually printing. To do this:

File

Print Preview

Zoom in

Zoom out

2. Next and Previous Page buttons allow you to go from page to page, if the print preview is more than one page long.

3. Once you are ready to print, click the Print button on the Preview window.

4. Click Close to return to your Britannica CD page.

Saving Pages

Netscape gives you the opportunity to save a Britannica CD page as a file on your computer. You can do this either before or after you bring the page to your screen.

To save the displayed page:

ile

Save As

2. In the dialog box, choose Source (*.htm) or Plain Text (*.txt) format.

Note: A source file saved in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) retains its graphics and formatting for viewing in Netscape. A file saved in text format is presented as plain text.

3. Specify a name and path for the file and click OK.

To save a page as a file instead of displaying it:

2. Click the right mouse button to pop up a menu.

3. Choose "Save this Link as" to display the Save As dialog box, and follow the steps above.

To display a file that has been saved to disk, choose File, Open File and select HTML or text. An HTML file appears in its proper format; a text file will appear as simple typewritten text.

Copying from Pages

Sometimes you may want to copy a phrase or a paragraph only, and not the whole page. To copy specific text:

2. Open the Edit menu and choose Copy, or press Ctrl + C. This copies the selection to the Windows clipboard.

3. You can now open another application (such as a word processor) and paste the selection using the Paste feature, or press Ctrl + V.
