Hi paul, bingo, that worked, it makes life much easier now. tell me, every time i save one of these recipies off the internet will it always come down in notepad? or is there a way to get it down in word? many thanks susan ----- Original Message ----- From: NCBI Technical Support To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 9:47 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: notepad Hi Susan, Try the following idea to have your files come up in word instead of notepad. 1. First of all bring up the files in notepad as they usually come up in. 2. Do a "control + letter A" to select all the text. 3. Do a "control + C" to copy the text from the notepad file. 4. Open up Microsoft word and do a "control + V" to paste the text in there. 6. Give the word file a name such as cookery recipies" and save it into my documents. Now you can repeat the above process every time and place the recipies into the Microsoft word file you made above. Hope this might help you some. Paul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Susan Curry Sent: 14 May 2007 20:30 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] notepad hi folks every week I receive a magazine by email called weight watchers that have recipes in it, I go on line by using the link given in the email and get these recipes. however when I save the web page that has a particular recipe on it that I want to put in to a folder that I have in my documents, it saves it in notepad and because of this I find it hard to read it. I hope I have explained myself ok, but how can I save it so it will read as if it was just a word document? susan ******************************************************************** NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
