Trouble downloading docs from web

when I try to download/save (Cntl-S) documents from the web they are downloaded/saved to the appropriate location but are incomplete downloads... paragraphs missing. Any idea why?

What format are the 'docs'? If saving a Web page are you choosing Web page, complete, Web page, HTML only or Text only? The Web page, complete gets the HTML file plus a Folder of the same name with _files added with the images and other data that make up the page seen in the browser.

I don't know what you're talking about. I am trying to download & save an insurance policy from the insurance website which should be a simple process.

What I would do is this:

Install Snipping Tool. (It's free.) To do that, search for it in a browser and choose any download source.

Once installed, open it and in its littler window choose Mode, then select Window Snip. Move your pointer over the window you want and click it.

When the clip appears, close it (the usual little X on the top right of its window).

A window will open asking if you want to save the clip. Press Yes.

A standard Windows save window will appear asking where you want to save it.

Decide as usual and press Save button.

If your insurance document is too big to fit on one screen, in the browser window displaying the insurance doc., you could press Ctrl + - to shrink the image, then use Snipping tool again. Alternatively, scroll the window which is showing your insurance doc. and copy again, and again as needed.

I have just rehearsed the above and Snipping Tool copied the whole of an Internet page.

Thank you. But I'm not interested in buying software for $300/year which is FREE on my PC if I can figure out how to use it.

WAY too complicated. Thanks

Its certainly complex to list step-by step, as most procedures are, but easy to use once you are familiar with it. I use it frequently.
