Downloading

Justis allows you to download (i.e. save to your computer’s hard disk or floppy disk) documents from the Document screen, the Results screen, and other screens that have lists of documents. From the Document screen, you can download only the displayed document. From the Results screen, you can choose one or more documents to download by clicking to put a tick in the appropriate check boxes.

To display the Download Options form, click the “Download” button in the Document Actions panel on the Document screen or in the Results Options panel on the Results screen.

File type:

You can choose either RTF (Rich Text Format, suitable for word processors) or HTML (HyperText Markup Language, suitable for Web browsers or word processors).
RTF files retain all of the on-screen formatting (e.g. font, point size, colour, alignment, bold and italics) and also retain the page breaks and page numbering of the original printed documents.
HTML files retain all of the on-screen formatting (e.g. font, point size, colour, alignment, bold and italics), but page breaks will not be in the correct places if you print the file.

Container:

You can choose to send documents as they are, or compressed and combined into a single container file so that they will easier for the recipient to handle.
Some documents on Justis are very large, and should not be emailed without a container (which compresses the contained file).

Zip files need to opened with a third-party program in order to extract the separate RTF or HTML files. If you do not already have such a program, please consult your Computer Support. Free programs for Windows, Macintosh and Linux that can extract the separate RTF or HTML files from Zip files are available from Allume Systems.

Downloading

After making your selection of file type and Container, click the “Download” button, and the following message box will appear:

Popup menu

The menu item for downloading (saving) files has different names in other Web browsers, for example “Save Link As...” or “Download Link to Disk”.

If you are using a Macintosh computer with a mouse that has only one button, you can open the pop-up menu by holding down the Control key while you click the link.

Aborting long downloads

Under some circumstances, documents may take a very long time to download. This may be because the document is very long, or because your Internet connection is slow. Whatever the reason, it is normally possible to terminate the download if you wish to do so.

Windows users should press the Esc key on their keyboard to stop the remainder of a document from loading.

Macintosh users should hold down the Command key on their keyboard and then press the . (full stop/period) key to stop the remainder of a document from downloading.
