Ctrl A.
4.  Copy by using
Ctrl C.
5.
  Paste the information to NOTE PAD.
6.  On the note pad file menu choose "save as"
7.  At the screen that comes up type the name of the page you are saving.
8.  In the save as window choose the folder you wish to save in and click save.
10. Back at your open page click on cancel.


When you need to use your saved page, open your "My Documents" or where ever your pc saves your notepad files and simply copy back to the html editor (using Ctrl V) of the page where you want the information.

You can also create a site and make it private and unlisted just for storing your backup pages. If you do that be sure to post on it often enough to keep it active so MSN does not delete it. NOTE: You can also use photobucket to store your images in (In their raw form) and save storage used.
