This Web site is dedicated to the idea that the very nature of information is changing, practically before our eyes. It is changing in what it looks like, where we find it, what we look at to view it, what we can do with it, and how we communicate it. Here you will find information and tools designed to help us redefine literacy for the 21st Century.

Text to Disk

Objective Task: You have found a web page of which you need the entire text saved to disk. Examples might be the Declaration of Independence or A Tale of Two Cities. You may be providing disk copies so that your students can easily annotate the document or conduct string searches of the text.

Note: Be aware that when using this technique, you will only be saving the text of the web page. The resulting file will be a text or ASCII file without images and other multimedia.
Step 1 Load the web page into your browser.
Step 2 Pull down the File menu and select Save as...
Step 3 A standard file dialog box will appear, standard to Windows 3.x, 95, or Mac OS. Use the dialog box to find a logical location on your disk(s) to save the file.



Enter a filename for the file with ".txt" as the file extension. Make sure that the Save as type: section is set to Plain Text (*.txt).
Step 4 Your browser will save the file to the target location on your disk as a text file. You should be able to load this file into any word processor and most web editors.
