Saving Your Selections

When you have made your selections, click the “Your Selections” button in the right sidebar, then click the Share button at the bottom of the list of selections. Click the button for the format in which you would like to save your selections.

You can also save a single chapter or section by browsing to it, clicking the “Save, Share, Bookmark or Print” button in its heading, and clicking the button for the desired format.

The “Microsoft Word (RTF)” format is lightweight and can be opened in most word processors, including Google Docs and other cloud-based apps, making it ideal for drafting code revisions or compiling reports. The “Adobe Reader (PDF)” format has consistent formatting across all devices and is ready to print, making it ideal for sharing and archiving.

When your file is ready, a check mark will appear in the Share dialog. Files are saved to the “Downloads” folder on your computer, or as otherwise configured in your web browser.

If saving to “Microsoft Word (RTF)” format shows an error after more than a minute of processing, large graphics or complex tables in that part of the code may prevent saving in this format. When this happens, save the text to “Adobe Reader (PDF)” format instead, then open the PDF and export to Word/RTF format. The results are similar to saving directly to Word/RTF format.
