I'm not very computerate myself, but have used the windows snipping tool to just snip the article itself, and have sent it to you by pm.

I hope you can then just copy (contol and c keys) and paste (control and v keys) the snip into your document.

I've also downloaded the whole newspaper page as a pdf file by clicking on the 'download page' button, but I was looking on the FMP site so it might be different on GR's site.

I have sent the pdf file of the whole page to you via pm.

I hope someone more IT literate than me can give you a more comprehensive guide as to how to do it in the future. I do find the windows snipping tool quite useful if you don't want the whole page, just the relevant article.

Hi,

I am trying to save/copy a newspaper article to my desktop that I found on this site. It is a 'letter', if you want to call it that, from a Sgt. Sidney Rhodes sent to his wife in Hull, E. Riding of Yorkshire, from Stalag I PoW camp. I want to place this article in a document I am working on. Can someone please help and tell me what to do?
