[blindLaw] Downloading cases from WestLaw in word?

[Singh, Nandini]

IE was fine yesterday, and I am on Chrome now. I was able to locate both the email and the download menus on Chrome. I selected download, which presented me a combo box that allows me to select the format: Word, RTF, PDF, and Word Perfect. I opted for Word and then pressed enter on the download button to find the case sitting in my Downloads folder. I did not immediately see any option to change from columnar format to straight body text nor the option to omit the full panoply of frontal matter, but then again, I was not looking for those. Hope this helps?

Actually, I just tried logging on to Westlaw in both Chrome and IE to give Jorge more specific directions, and I can't find the "download"
link anymore on either browser.  Is anyone else having this problem?
