Help with downloading and saving files to your computer:

  1. Create a directory or folder on your computer to save your downloaded files. (e.g., c:\download)
  2. If you are presented with multiple file format options choose the file format you would like to use - WordPerfect, Word, PDF, etc.
  3. Save the file to the directory or folder you created in step 1 above.
  4. Click on a link to download a document and you will see a "Save As" prompt. NOTE: if you are not presented with a "Save As" prompt, you will need to "right click" on the link and choose "Save As" from the menu options. 
  5. Note the file name of the document - you will need it later when you retrieve it into your word processing/spreadsheet program. You can also rename the file if you would like at this time.
  6. Choose the directory or folder you created to store downloaded documents in step 1 above and click on OK. To find the directory or folder you created, click on the down arrow in the drop-down box next to the words "Save in:" You will see a list of folders and drive letters (e.g., "A," "C," "D"). Click on the drive letter where your directory or folder exists, then scroll to the directory or folder and click on it.
  7. Your document will now be saved (downloaded) to your computer. It may take from a few seconds to about 10 minutes to download each document to your computer, depending on the size of the document and the speed of your modem and Internet connection.
  8. When you finish downloading your documents, exit your browser, open the appropriate program, and retrieve the documents from the directory or folder where they were saved.
