Copying text

1. Select the text you want to copy.
2. Open the Edit menu and choose Copy.
3. Now you can paste the text into other documents.

Copying Links (URLs) and pictures

1. Use the mouse to point to a link or image.
2. Right-click (Ctrl-click). A menu appears.
3. Choose Copy Link Location or Copy Image Location.
   If an image is also a link, you can choose either menu item.
4. Once you've copied a link, you can paste it into Flock's location bar.

Saving an entire page

Saving a web page, or part of a web page (such as a single image), lets you view it when you're not connected to the Internet.

To save a page for later viewing

1. Open the File menu and choose Save Page As. The Save As dialog appears.
2. Choose a location for the saved page.
3. Choose a format for the page you want to save:
   • Web Page, Complete: Save the entire web page including pictures. This choice lets you view it as originally shown with pictures, but may not keep links embedded in the original page. Flock creates a new directory to store the page and its pictures and other files.
   • Web Page, HTML Only: Save the original page without pictures. This choice preserves any links embedded in the original web page.
   • Text file: Save the original page as a text file. This choice will not preserve links embedded in the original web page, but lets you see a text version of the web page in any text editor.
4. Type a name for the page and click Save.

Saving a single frame instead of the whole page

This applies only to web pages that are divided into frames.

1. Put the mouse pointer within the frame.
2. Right-click (Ctrl-click).
   A menu appears.
3. Choose This Frame, and then choose Save Frame As from the submenu. The Save As dialog appears.
4. Choose a location for the saved page.
5. Choose a format for the page you want to save.
6. Type a name for the page and click Save.

Saving an image

Tip: To set an image as your desktop background, right-click (Ctrl-click) on an image and choose Set As Desktop Background from the popup menu.

1. Put the mouse pointer within the frame.
2. Right-click (Ctrl-click). A menu appears.
3. Select Save Image As. The Save Image dialog appears.
4. Choose a location for the saved image.
5. Type a name for the image and click Save.

Saving a page without displaying it

This is useful for retrieving an unformatted page that isn't intended for viewing.

1. Use the mouse to point to the link.
2. Right-click (Ctrl-click).
   A menu appears.
3. Select Save Link to Disk.
   The Save File dialog appears.
4. Choose a location for the saved page.
5. Type a name for the page and click Save.
   Note: Some links automatically download and save files to your hard drive after you click them. The URLs for these links often begin with "ftp" or end with a file-type extension such as "au" or "mpeg." These links might transmit software, sound, or movie files and can launch helper applications that support the files.
