How to Download Sample Business Letters

Instructions are included for both Netscape 4.7 and Internet Explorer 5.0. The procedure for other versions is similar.

Netscape 4.7

1. Left-click a sample business letter download link with your mouse.
• Netscape opens the window below, but only if you have the option Always ask before opening this type of file selected in the checkbox.
• If you don't, Netscape opens the window in step 4. Skip to step 4 if you don't see this window after clicking the download link.

2. Click Save it to disk
3. Click OK.
4. Netscape 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.

5. 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.
