wmsl Ann.... I only learned how to do it last year.... there was a thread on here, I think it might have been Steve... and he was teaching us how to do it, and he actually was brave enough to let us use his thread to practice on, lol!!

So... mouse.... highlight the bit you want to cut or copy.... by left clicking as you move the cursor

then right click on the mouse... it will produce a menu... then left click into copy or cut... go into the bit you want to drop it... and right click.. then left click on paste... then left click on paste.


See, clear as mud, that, lol!!

Love

Daff xxxx

Kitty I always feel so guilty, they are always such *heart rending* stories aren't they?

I'll take a tip from you.... I will delete, with no guilt.

Snopes doesn't allow you to c & p the content, in order to *prove* the scam/fiction/fact although you can c & p the link.

this site allows you to c & p the content...

Just lately we seem to be having a lot of threads posted warning of virus, scam etc. These threads have been issued by people with the best intentions in the world but most of them turn out to be fake.

One little gem going around at the moment is an email from the Dad of a dying baby. It claims that AOL & Zdnet are track the message & will pay out if people pass the message on. It's a HOAX but it's being passed around with 100's of email addresses on it.

A lot of these hoaxes could be nipped in the bud if only people Googled first. Copy part of the message & insert into Google within speech marks & see what pops up before these messages are passed on.
