I'm always the one with the tech questions, I know. I tried to start a new topic by copying from a word document previously typed today. It's rather long. It apparently went on the clipboard, but would not transfer with Control + V. I also tried right clicking to open up the box with the paste option, but that moved my cursor off the posting area, and if I moved it back, the box disappeared. Yikes! DH can't help me today, too busy at work. Anyone have any insight into this?

I have a vague recollection that some posts are too long? Should I try this in sections?

Thanks, db, I think I will wait for DH to come home because, (gulp), I have no idea what a text file is or how to save to one....

Thanks, Mary, I'm keeping that in mind for when I actually learn it. DH just helped me post and he flipped around so fast my head is spinning.... text was in there somewhere....

depends on what you are copying, web pages can have all kinds of embedded scripts, so what you are looking at may not be what you want to copy, many characters are not compatible with the target copy too.
