There are 2 ways you can do this:

  1. In the workspace window, click on File in the Menu then select Download Workspace. You'll be downloading a .zip archive which contains all your html and css files for the current project. This is the easiest way.

  2. Select the whole code in each file and copy + paste it into notepad or a similar word processor. (Right-clicking won't work in my case, so I've used Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste the code.) After you paste the code into a word processor, you need to save the file under a correct extension. If you're using notepad, click on File / Save As and in the window that appears give the file a proper name using an extension (for example: index.html for html files, or style.css for CSS files.)

Hope this helps :)
