Another self taught one here. There is one hint that is invaluable as far as I'm concerned. All you need is some necessary room on your HDD and/or a decent printer.
Right click on your desktop and select 'new'>'shortcut'. In the top of the box that comes up type 'NOTEPAD.EXE' (no quotes) then 'next'. On the 'type a name for this shortcut' click to the right of '.exe' and backspace it out 'til you just have notepad left,then click 'finish'. You will now have a shortcut to notepad on your desktop. Not quite finished yet. Put your pointer to the right of the quicklaunch entries on the taskbar 'til you get the double horizontal arrow. Left click-hold and pull the lil' vertical bar to the right just a' bit. Left click and hold the 'notepad' icon on your desktop and drag it onto the taskbar just left of the vertical bar you just pulled to the right. Right click and delete the desktop notepad icon.
Now,,when your online at a webpage with good info you would like to keep. Put your pointer at the beginning of a paragraph you'd like to keep 'til your pointer turns into the ( "I" 'text select' icon ) Hold the left mouse button down to highlight the text and pull it downwards and to the right to highlight all you want. Then, right click on the highlighted text and click 'copy' on the menu. Left click on your quick launch notepad icon to bring up the pad. Right click just to the right of the cursor then click 'paste'. Click on 'file' at top left on notepad page,then 'save as'. Browse it to 'My Documents' or any other folder you'd prefer the give it a name in the 'file name' box at the bottom.
You now have the option to tuck it away for the future or print it for a hard file.
This has been very helpful to me in the ol' computer learning process,especially when I was first getting started... ;)
