Diane, here's what to do. Copy the URL to the clipboard and open your web
browser. Open the address bar (ctrl-l) and paste the link, adding the
following: ?dl=1
This will result in your browser automatically downloading the file.
Incidentally, anyone sending an mp3 file via Dropbox should also ad ?dl=1
to their link to ensure that it will download rather than play on click.
And now back to Audacity...
Cheers, Robbie

The file opens and plays in Internet Explorer. The options to save and
save as are unavailable according to JAWS 13. The usual right click to
save target as also doesn't seem to work. Any other ideas? All help
appreciated.
Thanks.
Diane

What program does the file play in when you click on it. If it plays in
Windows media Player, you can save the file from within Media Player. If
the file opens in a different program, let us know what program that is.
I won't provide more explanation of how to save a file using Windows Media
Player until I know that that is the program the file opens in.
When people send drop box links to a file or files, they should zip the
file or files before placing them on Drop Box. That way, the files will
download and not open.
