taking text from your answers

[steve208]

hey im not too good with the technical stuff so please could someone explain how i can cut text from a thread to put it into word. i want to take some of the suggestions you great people have given me!

[mccfluff]

using mouse drag and hold over the text you want to cut, then right click on your mouse and some options will come up, either select cut or copy, go to your word document and select paste

You'll need to...

Hold down Ctrl, and then left-click on the block of text (can only do one paragraph at a time unfortunately) you want to copy.

Once this is highlighted, hold down Ctrl again and press C.

In word, either press CTRL + V, or go to Edit, then Paste.

thank you very much!

See I cant do it the normal way, because when I go to highlight anything it highlights the whole lot and the adverts on the side.

[4getmenot]

Ah ha zipadee yours works perfectly coz when I do it the Mcfluff way it just highlights everything. :-)

[mccfluff]

weird works for me

[zipadeedodah]

Yeah thats what I find too 4getmenot, highlights waaaay too much if you try to click and drag!

[4getmenot]

Thats coz I think the ED gives you special treatment Fluff :-)

[AB Editor]

Yes, it is very difficult to cut and paste from the site. It used to be easy but they made some technical changes and voila! we lost the ability to do so. Zips answer is the best way at the mo!  

[4getmenot]

Oh right I see even steve208 getting special treatment. Not Fair :-( Stamp my feet

[steve208]

thanks ed

anyway im sure treatment is not special!

just tap 3 times on the paragraph you want and it will highlight,

then press ctrl C, go into word and then press ctrl V.
