Copy the HTML File into Your Word Processor and Save it as a Word Processing Document:

NOTE: Print this page before trying to download the file. It might save your sanity. (To print, click on the printer icon above, or press CTRL-P and click on Print.)

-- First, figure out where you want to save your SermonWriter materials on your hard drive. We suggest that you create a folder that you call "SW." Remember where it is.

-- Click on the link to the HTML file.

-- Enter your User Name and Password (see above for your User Name and Password).

-- A copy of the SermonWriter materials should open on your screen.

-- Click anywhere in the document to make it active, and the press CTRL-A to select all the text. You should see the colors reverse.

-- Press CTRL-C to copy the text. You won't see anything happen, but CTRL-C copies the text to your computer's memory.

-- Start your word processor, and put your cursor anywhere on the word processor blank page.

-- Press CTRL-V to paste the text into your word processor.

-- Press CTRL-S to save your document. This will bring up a dialog box that will ask where you want to save the document and what you want to call it.

-- Toward the top of the page, you should see a "Save in:" window. Use the black "down" arrow and the yellow/black "up" arrow to browse to the SW folder that you created in step 1.

-- Toward the bottom of the page, you should see a "File name:" window. Type in a file name. We use a file name that contains lots of information, such as:

SW, 03-04-13, Palm B (don't use any colons -- they don't work in a file name.)

03 is the year. 04 is the month. 13 is the day. Having the date in that order will make the files line up in your SW folder chronologically. Once you have a dozen or more files, that will make it much easier to find what you want.

But you can name the file anything that makes sense to you.

-- Click on the "Save" button.
