Jannette,

What you just posted looks fine. You don't have to type them out.

Do you know how to use Copy and Paste?

When you want to copy something, highlight it, then go to your toolbar, click on edit and click Copy. This put what you hightlighted on to your clipboard. Then start your post on TS, put your cursor where you want to paste in the information, click edit again, click Paste and the information should appear in the post you are writing.

It's the easiest way to get text from one place to another!

Jan,

It's ok to take pieces of something and ask questions about them. It's not ok to copy every last letter and bit of punctuation, then sell it or claim that it is your research, writing etc.

At least that's my rule of thumb.

Hello Jan,

There are several ways to cut, copy and paste, try these.

Or you can watch some movies on the subject.

hi
thanks , i do know how to copy and paste , just with the census i had copied and saved as jpegs and i didnt want to send that incase i sent too much copyright with it ,
some things when you copy and paste it was comming out as what looked like a code when you put onto an email , maybe it was the server as i tried sending to my brother that way and he couldnt see anything ,
but i noticed it works fine here
thanks for the help
JustJan
