Copying an image

If you move your mouse pointer over a picture (without clicking either the LEFT or RIGHT buttons), a little row of icons (as shown below) should appear towards the top of the image. Move the mouse over the one on the left (showing a picture of a disk) and the words Save this image will probably appear. LEFT click the mouse on the picture of the disk and you can then save the image to your hard disk.

   Row of Icons

With some pictures, the little row of icons will not always appear. In this case, RIGHT click on the image and a menu will appear. Select Save picture as and save the image to your hard disk.

Copying text

Holding down the LEFT BUTTON on your mouse, highlight the text you want to copy. With the text highlighted, hold down CTRL and press the key marked C. This will copy the text to your Windows clipboard. Open any word processor you may have on your computer. All computers have Notepad, if nothing else, (it is under Start - Accessories - Notepad) and this one will work quite well. Having opened Notepad (or any other word processor) hold down CTRL and press the key marked V just once. This will paste the selected text into the word processor. It can then be saved to your hard disk.

Downloading PDF files

This is a very simple process. Read through the descriptions below. To select a pdf file, just click on the underlined text (below the description) that interests you and a menu will appear. Then just click on Save and the file will be saved to you computer for you to use at any time (and you don't have to be connected to the Internet to access the pdf file when it is downloaded on your computer).

One word of advice - if you intend downloading several pdf files, then put them all in a separate folder on your computer. In that way you can easily find them when you want to. It is like having a library of books.

To do this, chose the pdf file you want to save. Before saving it, right-click your mouse on the white plain part of the little panel and select new folder. Once you have created a new folder, double click on the folder's name and always save all pdf files in that folder.
