Instructions are included for both Netscape
4.7 and Internet Explorer 5.0. The procedure for other versions is
similar.
Internet Explorer 5.0
- Right-click a sample business letter download link
with your mouse. Explorer opens the window below.
- If you left-click instead, Explorer attempts to open
the file rather than download it, and you don't see this window.
- Just click Cancel and start this
step over again.

- Click Save Target As...
- Explorer might briefly display an interim window
while it gathers file information.
- Explorer opens the window below. Choose the directory where you want
to save the sample business letter.
- You may type a new file name, but don't change the
file type from RTF or your applications may not
recognize it.

- Click Save and the download proceeds.
Try it here or return to Download
Samples first (the page that got you here). The sample links
below open a new, but smaller browser window, so you can still see these
instructions and try other samples. Each time you click a sample link
again, the new sample displays in the same smaller window, but this window
will cover it because you clicked here last. Just bring the smaller window
to the front of your screen. For example, in Windows® 95, click on it in
the taskbar below.
