Important Notes
for saving downloaded PDF files to your hard drive
(or floppy disc or CD-RW disc)
When you click a download link , the desired PDF article begins to appear in your screen as an Acrobat Reader document . Please wait patiently until the file has been completely downloaded . It is being held only in a temporary cache , and will disappear unless it is saved to a folder on your computer's hard drive (or diskette or CD-RW) . To save the downloaded file , follow these steps :
1. Click the little floppy disc icon - the "save" button - on the far left side of the Acrobat Reader toolbar , near the top of the Reader's page :
2. The Save As dialog box appears . In the Save In field , browse to select a suitable drive and destination folder , such as C:\My Documents . In the file name field , type a suitable name , such as Metallic Solids . In the Save as Type field , leave the entry there as Acrobat (*.pdf) . Click the Save button (in the dialog box) .
3. Observe the progress of the saving on the saving status bar at the bottom left side of the Reader's page . When the saving is complete , click the browser's Back button to return to the website , or click the browser's Home button to return to your Home Page (web portal) .
4. Some of the web pages have no PDF document to download . Use the File>Save As function on your web browser's toolbar to save an HTML web page to the desired drive and folder (directory) .
5. Note : These web pages have been prepared using Front Page Express with an 800 x 600 pixel resolution (4 : 3 screen ratio) . I hope they will also be suitable for the newer 16 : 9 (letterbox) ratio monitors , although I haven't tested or viewed them in "wide view mode" . The HTML encoding for displaying and saving my web pages is US/Western European .
