This can work with Word documents, too.

(Note: Many web pages have links that say "Printable Version" or "Printer-friendly Version." Choosing this link may get rid of sidebars and other non-text features.)

The location of printing options will vary depending upon your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and how you have configured it. Look for a Printer icon or a menu option that says Print (or Print Preview).

Use "Print Preview"

• Click on Print Preview.
• Check which pages actually have the information you need.
• If you want to print all the pages, click the Print button or option.

Use "Page Range"

• If you want to specify which pages to print, in the pop-up window, select either
• Current Page (if you want only the page your cursor is on), or
• click on Pages choice and enter the range of pages to print. (Example: Pages from : 3 to: 5)

Print Only "Selected Text"

• If you want to print a specific part of the web page,
• highlight a selection with the mouse before starting the printing process,
• choose Print;
• choose Selection;
• Click Print or OK.

• Insert a portable storage device (USB/Thumb drive).
• Go to page you wish to save.
  • Click Save As.
  • In the pop-up window, click on the down arrow in the Save in window at the top or Browse to the appropriate drive.
  • Choose the drive where your portable storage is.
• In the File name window, type a name.
• If you will want to use the information later for word processing, make sure the file name ends in .txt.
• If you will want to look at the information later as a web page, make sure the file name ends in .htm or .html.
• Click Save.
• Remove USB drive safely.

Note: Saving web pages in HTML format (.htm or .html) will automatically create a folder for any graphics associated with the web page.
This can take up a lot of space on your USB drive.

Did you know that ACC provides a place on line where you can store and even edit your documents from anywhere you have access to the internet?

If you have activated your ACCmail account (emailname@g.austincc.edu), you have access to many online Google applications like Google Documents. [See more information about this.]

Instruction on how to save to Google Documents can be found at Google Docs Basics.

Note: Unless you want to edit the document online in Google Docs, you do not have to convert it to Google docs format.

• Place the mouse on top of the image.
• Click with the right mouse button.

• Most of the e-resources to which ACC subscribes allow emailing articles to the searcher.
  • Examples: Academic Search Complete, Opposing Viewpoints, Masterfile Premier
• Although the individual resources handle this is different ways, the methods are somewhat similar:
  • After searching, a results list is displayed.
  • You may take a look at the results one at at time or you may mark particular results for later viewing.
• Once all the desired results are marked, you can either:

view them on screen

print them to a local printer

download to a portable storage device

email them to yourself

Note: Instructions on how to do all of these things are usually at the end of the results list or in the Help file.
