The damn Quote function does not always work. It has never worked for me. Skip it. Just use the old Copy & Paste. You'll be happier and live longer. Smile

How really bad I am?? I don't even know how to do copy and paste. Do you think I may have known in a previous life but the gods sucked out my brains??

Not a problem, Newbie.

Put your cursor at the beginning of what you want to copy. Then hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor to the end of what you want to copy.

Release the left mouse button, and click on "Edit" at the top of your browser window, then click on "Copy".

Then open the page you want the quote to be on. Put the cursor where you want the copied material to go, then click on "Edit" and "Paste."

That ought to do it, if you're running Windows. If you're on a Mac, I can't help.

Copyng text on a Mac is pretty similar. Using the mouse you highlight the text. Release the mouse and press the command key (the one with the apple next to the space bar AND the "C' key.

Place your cursor where you want the text and press command AND "V" key. That should do it .

I love my Mac
