How can I keep all the info together? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

taclem · 12-05-2009, 11:03 AM

There are many mods that I want to do to my 66 short stepside, and have been reading so many good ideas and how to articles. I need a way to keep this info together, is there a way to do so without copy and pasting or printing out the info to keep it where it is easily found again? Some of these tech articles are just too valuable to risk loosing.

You can make folders to keep your subscribed threads in too.
If you can't find it, shout out.

Another option is to download and use an electronic print program. I use CutePdf: http://www.cutepdf.com/ (freeware version).

It's really simple, just install the software, and it comes up on the list of printers available on your computer. Rather than printing to a device which creates paper, this prints to a file which you can save in a folder.

1. Create a folder where you want to store your articles.
2. Open the page you want to keep.
3. Select file print.
4. Select CutePDF Writer.
5. Click print.
6. A new dialog box pops up. Create a title for the file, select the folder you created and click save. The article you wanted is now permanently in the folder in alphabetical sequence by title.

When I was still working virtually everyone in corporate headquarters used this freeware to save and send electronic files. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. This is also very handy for saving online receipts, order confirmations, etc.
