There is no text visible when I use my jpg reader. I know this is very basic stuff but would appreciate suggestions on how to save html documents. (I guess the... See more

no right clicking! May 5, 2002

To save it as HTML in IE 6.0 cklick at \"File > save as\", no right clicking on the page. You\'ll have to save each page.



\"Image1.jpg\" is the background of this page, you\'ve saved the background image by right clicking.

Let me know if you need some more explanation if it sounds complicated, which it isn\'t. If I\'m not sure if I will need it, I name the Excel spreadsheet and then later do a search via a special database, AskSam.

Best regards,
