Printing

A page is everything that can be seen without clicking a link. A page may be larger than your screen, in which case you will need to use the scroll bars to see all of it. Internet Explorer will always print the entire current page, so it is a good idea to check how large the page is before you start printing. For more information about printing, see Printing Options.

Click PRINT
OR
From the File menu, select Print...
NOTE: If you clicked PRINT, the page will print without taking you to the Print dialog box.
Click PRINT

Viewing Page Source

If you want to view the source of a document to determine its HTML coding technique, you can access the source code for most web pages. In most cases, this will be a Windows Notepad window but may vary based on individual setup. When you are viewing the source code, you can copy information to be pasted in another file.

From the View menu, select Source
The source code will appear in a new window.
From the File menu, select Exit

Saving Files

As in a word processor, users can save information available through Internet Explorer to a file. You may save the hypertext mark-up language, called the source, or you may save only the straight text, called text-only. Unless you want the HTML code for the document, you should save the file as text-only. Both types of files can be edited in a word processor.
NOTE: Saving the HTML file does not include the images. The images need to be saved separately.
