How to Do It |
Copy or download the content in a link to your computer or flash drive Example: You want to copy the PDF file of your syllabus or the Course Plan you will fill in and submit to Turnitin |
1. Put your cursor over a link. 2. Click on the right mouse button. 3. Select
Save Target As. Tip: Just
remember where you saved it and give your file a meaningful name or use the
existing title of the link as the name. |
Copy an RTF file, such as your Course Plan to your computer so you can fill in the blanks |
1. Click
on it. 2. Click Save As Just remember where you saved so you can fill in the answers for your Plan. |
Copy the contents of a webpage into your own file so you can write your own notes in your file. |
1. Display the link you want to copy. 2. Highlight everything you want to copy. If you don’t know how to highlight, please email me and I will add to the instructions. 3. Click on the right mouse button. 4. Select Copy. 5. Open a new document, such as a Microsoft Word document. 6. Click in the new document. 7. Click on the right mouse button. 8. Select
Paste—the one that says Keep Source Formatting. 9. Save your file. Tip: Just
remember where you saved it and give your file a meaningful name or use the
existing title of the link as the name. |
Find something in a file or on a webpage Example: You want to see all of the videos that cover · Pueblos (in US History I) · Rockefeller (in US History II) |
How to do this varies, but thus far Ctrl-F (pressing the Ctrl key and the F key at the same time) has worked. Your browser displays a box or field where you can type the a few characters from the word you want. You can then click on each Match in the file or on the webpage. Example: You could try typing · Puebl · Rocke |
View a link but stay on the same page or screen so you do not get lost in the links |
1. Put your cursor over a link. 2. Click on the right mouse button. 3. Select
