A) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! PLUS HERE ARE REASONS FOR: SAVING "YOUR OWN ZMM FULL TEXT COPY" INTO YOUR OWN COMPUTER.

1) With this text saved into your computer, you will (quickly & reliably), have a great resource for ZMM study & research.
2) In addition, your saved copy, is wherever your computer is, and ready when you are.
You won’t have to depend on whole process of getting it: Which includes a) Remembering where to find it. b) A working internet, c) Trusting needed webpages still work, d) Plus wait time for page download. e) Etc. ) '''

C) With ZMM Full Text, “Up” In Your Word Processor: The Ways You Can Use It, Depends On Only On Your Imagination And Skill!! Here Are Some Examples =>

a) You can do word searches for any word (or phrase of words): To do this > With Your Mouse > Go > Top of this page > Edit > Find > Type your target word > Then > Hit Enter, successively, as you watch the successive “hits” for your target word, and thus find where your search terms successively are. .

b) Or you can do a word count: The procedure is similar: To do this > With Mouse > Go > Top of this page > Edit > Find-Replace > Type your target word(s), as above: Then > Hit “Replace All” > You will see a count number, for the “replacements of” for your target word(s)

CAUTION: Since this above mentioned procedure may (by some mistake), alter your ZMM copy shown on your computer screen, Do NOT in any way "save" this potentially changed version, that is currently on your computer’s screen. ATTENTION, DO NOT FORGET!!

c) Using same method as a) above, there are lots of imaginative page search “arenas” you might want to locate. For example: You can then search for selected portions of the ZMM book using “Chapter” or page “Number” as search term.

GETTING "YOUR OWN FULL TEXT ZMM BOOK COPY" SAVED INTO YOUR OWN COMPUTER.
… You should scan over these below “METHODS”, decide which you will do, and then quickread thru the steps. As you quickrread, you should make a mental plan of your steps. Having done the quickreading, you can likely use your own native computer skills, with no further reading.
… WHEN YOU ARE READY, PLEASE FOLLOW THE BELOW =>

1) FIRST METHOD => Simple Saved WebPage ''', which will be the exact same ZMM WebrPage, but it is now as a copy in your Computer’s Hard Drive: With this method you can search for words, but mostly can’t edit, add or alter what is there.

Step a) Have your chosen ZMM Full Text WebPage “Up” on your computer’s viewing screen. (See choices at C) ~14 inches below.)

Step b) GoTo > Top of your WebBrowser > Do Successive Steps > Edit > Save Page As > Choose Folder Where To Place It > (AND Remember Your Choice) > Type What you want for a file name > For example; just before what is already there, type an = sign, then before that, type in where you found this ZMM page:

Step c) Go to the file folder, where you saved your Full Text in Step a) and click to open it, which because it is a WebPage, it will come up in an Internet Browser, such as Chrome or Edge. When this file opens, you can search for words, but mostly can’t edit, add or alter what is there, such as bold certain words or add any “remember this” notes of your own. ((What editing is allowed this way, depends on your knowing, whether you can directly open your saved file in a Word Processor Or PDF Viewer Editor. ))

2) SECOND METHOD => Copy & Paste Into Favorite Word Processor & Subsequent Saved-As Into Your Computer. Similar to the above method, but since it is now a copy in your Computer, your saved Full Text Copy can be opened with your Computer’s Word Processor, (Or PDF Viewer-Editor): With this method you can edit or change, what is there, in nearly any way you want. '''This includes, bolding words & phrases, add any notes of your own, such as “important here, and why”..

Step a) Have your chosen ZMM Full Text WebPage “Up” on your computer’s viewing screen.

Step b) GoTo > Top of your WebBrowser > Do Successive Steps > Press CTRL Key and hit Letter “A” > This Hi-Lites the entire page. > Press CTRL Key and hit Letter “C” > This copies the the entire page into the clip-board.

Step c) Bring up your Word processor with a blank page. > Click on the page to place the cursor > At top > Edit > Edit > Paste > Check to be sure all the Full Text is there.

Step d) GoTo > Top of your Word Processer > Do Successive Steps > Edit > Save Page As > Choose Folder Where To Place It > (AND Remember Your Choice) > Type What you want for a file name > For example; just before what is already there, type an = sign, then before that, type in where you found this ZMM page:

Step e) Go to the file folder, where you saved your Full Text in. and click to open it in your favorite Word Processor. When this file opens, you can search for words, and can edit, add to or alter what is there, such as bold certain words or add any “remember this” notes of your own. ((What editing is allowed this way, depends on your knowing, whether you can directly open your saved file in a Word Processor Or PDF Viewer Editor. ))

Step f) Then I suggest hit Enter-Key say 8 more times, for space at bottom.

Step g) At this point The Complete ZMM Text, should be in your computer word processor You should scroll down to see it is (mostly) all there.

Step h) GoTo > Top of your WebBrowser > Do Successive Steps > Edit > Save Page As > Choose Folder Where To Place It ( You may want to (near the top, at right of box, click the small triangle, and click select the folder you want). Then > Type > What you want for a file name > For example; just before what is already there, type an = sign, then before that, type in ZMM Full Text plus where you found this page, '''

Step i) Then , click Save: If the save is successful, you will be returned to your Word Processor work area.

Step j) As for any “Save-As, you should immediately do a SECOND Save-As, say onto an USB Memory Stick, This is so you have a second “Back-Up Copy”. :-))

Step k) Eventually you should, learn enough about your computer’s file (and folders), system to “go-look-see” if the files you saved are really there, and have about the right amount of KBites or MBites.
