 When
you go on a trip, do you pick up little doodads?
Fridge magnets, postcards, t-shirts…. Well,
traveling through cyberspace is no different. On
your tour around the Web, you'll probably find
all sorts of stuff you'll want to keep for
later. Pictures for class projects, delectable
quotes, the perfect lesson plan on Monarch
butterflies. With Internet Explorer 5, you can
save such cyber-gems to keep in your own
computer. Then, you can show them to other
people - even when you're not connected to the
Internet! |

As
you surf the Web, you'll find a lot of things you'd like
to see again later. You might even want to save
something to share with a friend who isn't connected to
the Internet. IE5 lets you save text or images from the
page. This snappy program even lets you save entire Web
page - images and all! To
save text from the Web:
1)
Select the text on a page by holding down your mouse
button as you move over it. A blue-highlight block
appears over the text.
2)
Press the CTRL key and the C key on your keyboard at
the same time. This action copies the text.
3) Open Microsoft Word or another text program.
4)
Place your cursor on an open Word page.
5) Press the CTRL key and the V key at the same
time. This action pastes the text onto the
page.
6)
Save the text in Word.

To

You
can get IE5 to notify you when new content is added to
Web pages on your Favorites list. You can save the page
and then view it in IE5 when you are off-line -
that is, not connected to the Internet. This option is
valuable when you have limited access to Internet
dial-up lines. It also lets you know when new
information is available, so you don't have to keep
returning to the site to see if anything has changed.
This process is known as "synchronizing" a Web
page. To
synchronize a page from your Favorites list:
1)
Click the Favorites button on the toolbar. The
Favorites lists appears in the left-side window.
2) Click Organize Favorites. The Organize
Favorites dialog box appears.
3) Select the file you want to synchronize. A
Make Available Offline check-box appears on the left
side of the Organize Favorites dialog box.
4)
Click the Make Available Offline check-box. A
Properties button appears under the Make Available
Offline check-box.
5)
Click the Properties button. A Properties dialog box
appears, containing the name of your link.
6) Click the Schedule tab. Click the radio
button beside "Only when I choose synchronize
from the Tools menu."
7)
Click OK on the Properties dialog box.
8) Click Close on the Organize Favorites dialog
box.
TIP:
To get your updates, just click Tools on the Menu bar
and choose Synchronize. IE5 will visit the pages you
have synchronized and download new information for you.
