DOWNLOADING AND
PRINTING THE TEXT FILES
(These instructions are for the
Microsoft Internet Explorer® browser.
If you open the site in Safari® it
gives you the option to print, and also to print to a PDF file.)
On my Web site there are HTML files,
PDF files, and PowerPoint® slide presentation files.
The audio files at present are .wav
files, which I plan to change to mp3,
and I will add other mp3 files so that
they can be downloaded as podcasts.
PDF
Since the PDF format may be the easiest
for you to deal with in future I may start uploading all my files,
except the PowerPoint® files, in PDF.
To print or save PDF or PowerPoint®
files, is not complicated.
-
The PDF files will open in Acrobat
Reader®, which is a free download from the Internet, and that
program will give you the needed options to print or save to your
computer.
Click on
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
to download the free program.
These files are free to
print and use but please remember to retain the copyright line.
Thank you.
-
The PowerPoint® slides can be saved
to your computer and opened up in PowerPoint® or PowerPoint Viewer®,
which is a free download from the Microsoft® Web site.

to download the free
program.

files are free to print and use but please remember to retain the
copyright line. Thank you.
For HTML files, which is the case of
most of the pages on my site, the files which appear as a normal page in
the Web site, you can deal with them either of two ways:
-
If the page is just text (no
charts),
-
Go to the “Page” option in the
Web browser and choose “save as”.
-
Next choose “Text File
(*.txt)”.
-
Then open Word.
-
With Microsoft Word® open the
file you just saved. It will appear in Word as a text file in
HTML.
-
You can then select that whole
text (block it off).
-
Copy it, and paste it into a
blank Word (or another text editor) document.
-
Then you can edit the extra
blank areas out and adjust the font size, etc.
-
These files are
free to print and use but please remember to retain the
copyright line. Thank you.
-
If the document contains a chart,
and many of them do, please follow this procedure. I will use the
page “Mark The Chronological Line” as an example.
-
Open the page in my Web site
www.jackrendel.net, by clicking on the “Studies” menu, then
on Mark, and finally on “Chart Mark Chronological
Line of the Gospel”.
-
When the page opens click on
the “Page” option, in the upper right hand area of Internet
Explorer®, and choose the option, “Webpage, complete (*.htm;*.html)”
and click on “Save”.
-
Open Microsoft Word® (in my
case Word 2003®).
-
Open the file you saved in this
case “Mark The Chronological Line”, which is an HTML file.
(This file
has two small pictures of PowerPoint® presentations which will
not appear except as two small squares with two smaller squares
in side them, each with a red cross inside them. Select these
squares one by one and delete them. They are not needed. You may
find this in other files. These snapshots of the PowerPoint®
presentations were added just to make sure the correct slide was
used with each point in the study. They are not needed. I have
usually identified each presentation with a label as well.)
-
Select the part of the file
which is the study and click “Copy”.
-
Then go to “File” menu and open
a new file by clicking on “New…”
-
When the new page opens click
on “Paste”, and the part you selected from the file will appear
in the new file.
-
From the tiny clipboard icon on
your new Word file choose “Match Destination Formatting”, which
centered the text on the Word page.
-
Remove any extra blank space.
-
Save the file as “Mark The
Chronological Line”, without using the quote marks.
-
These files are
free to print and use but please remember to retain the
copyright line. Thank you.
