[blindLaw] Downloading cases from WestLaw in word?

[Brian Unitt]

It is working fine in Chrome. I use text.westlaw.com. 
It is a button called "download," so you can use the quick key "B" to navigate to it, press enter and then choose your format from the listbox. There are actually two ways to choose download formats. The button after "download" is "delivery." That one lets you choose whether to e-mail, print or download, and then choose the format etc.

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?
