I know how to copy it and save it as a file, but where do I put it and should it have a special name? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If someone wants to direct me to the correct instruction for doing this, that would be fine too.
