### Saving an Instant Message

To save an instant message:

1. In an Instant Message window, choose Save from the File menu.
2. The Save Text to File window appears.
3. Enter a name for the file in the File name field.
4. In the Save as type field, select Text Only if you want to save just the text of the messages.
5. If you want to save the text and be able to follow any hyperlinks in the messages, select AOL Rich Text Format. This creates an HTML file you can view with your web browser.
6. Click Save to save the messages that appear in the upper pane of the Instant Message window.
