How to Download Files

Directions for Downloading:

When you "right mouse click" you'll see a menu like the one to the right open up.  (MAC users -- just click the link.)

In Internet Explorer, choose "Save Target As..." and download the file to your desktop (in Netscape, you choose "Save Link As..").  

Once you select "save target as" or "save link as" a download screen will come up asking you where you want to save the file to on your computer.

You should save the file to your "desktop" or another folder you can easily find. Once you have downloaded the file, go to your desktop or the file you saved it to and double click the file to open it. 

It's that easy!

Occasionally, certain files will require that you install free software before you are able to use them.  For documents, you may need to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader software, and for audio programs, you may need an mp3 player installed on your computer.

Fortunately, these programs are already installed on 97% of the world's computers, according to the W3 consortium.
