How do you copy post text?

[Candle 11]

Sorry - I feel kind of stupid but ...

Within a post, how do you copy the text? When I highlight the text > right click > there's no option for CUT or COPY. I don't see an icon in the toolbar for this either.

I wanted to cut and paste a few recipes I found in the food FORUM to add to my personal cookbook I have saved on my PC.

Thanks

There is a "quote" button in the bottom right corner of the post. Once you have quoted the post you can delete parts you don't want to quote.

Sorry, I misread your original question. Actually, when I select text and right click, I do have a copy option, so I'm not sure what's going on with you.

If you're just wanting it to paste into another program, just highlight what you want copied, then hold down the CTRL key and press "C". That performs the same function as clicking "copy", just using the keyboard keys instead.

Then just paste as you normally would in your target application.

Thanks!! That works.

*blush* I noticed the problem originally because I was trying to cut > paste my own text to WORD, so I could spell/grammar check *blush* before I posted a rather long post. The forum spell check (ABC) prompts me to d/l iespell.com and I didn’t want to.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply.

I seem to have the COPY option when highlighting text [now] - maybe it was just a fluke earlier when I was trying to copy the recipes?

Glad I started this thread though because the "CTRL C" trick helps me spell check my own posts in WORD …. it's just a habit since another forum I post in has no spell check.

I'm not very swift on the computer. I know how to open my email and reply to them but that's the extent of my technical wizardry.

So I've been banded since 3-7-06 and this is my first attempt to "post". It has taken this long to figure out how/ where to type text!

I'm having lots of vomiting and my abdomen is very, very tender and I want to discuss this on this site...... Do I do a "thread" if so how do I create a thread? Is there a difference between posting something and a thread? I need a detailed, ELEMENTARY, explanation to use this site. Can anyone help me out? please?? don't take for granted I know anything... cause, well I don't.

many thanks -
