Not only do I live in my own little world here in rural France, but there is clearly a generation gap. What is obvious to all you young folk is often a mystery to this retired fellow! Thank you to everybody who posted a whole range of solutions to my small problem. I found the whole thing fascinating. What I had failed to understand was that it was not the computer that wouldn't do what I wanted, but Safari! It is not very often that I want to save in this way (which is why I had waited several months before posing the question). In future I shall revert to Internet Explorer - I've done it this morning; it still works! And for Robert Ameeti - sorry, I had no idea that I was being impolite. I naively thought that "please and "thank you" did the trick. But it seems as though you have a new set of ideas nowadays! Sorry to be so rambling. I only wanted to say thank you Keith Mills ********************************************* ...... missing something on my OS 10.3.3? I read an article on a website page and decide that I want to save it to my desktop for later use. So.... I click on Save As. The text saves perfectly, but not the photos. All I get is a series of question marks. I presume there is something basic that I don't understand. Many thanks for any advice. _______________________________________________ X-Newbies mailing list X-Newbies at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/x-newbies
