Forgive me if this is a stupid question,but i am still very new to anything computer! I,ve only been useing one for about three months and it,s a lot of guess work when your teaching yourself and have no one i can ask! So my question is when i,m reading an artical somewhere and want to post a new topic, how do i provide a link ? What i,m doing now is mentioning the sorce and then writing the artical on paper then i have to type out the story again to post it! I noticed others are able to simply transfer what they read somewhere else directly to the UM site, this is what i need to learn to do !can anyone help ?

They 'copy & paste' the article. Use your mouse to copy the text, right click (I start from the bottom and work up) and hold it down as you scroll up. You'll notice that the text becomes highlighted as you move the mouse up. When the text you want to copy is highlighted, left click your mouse and choose 'copy' from the drop down menu. When you open the text message box to start your thread, just left click your mouse and choose 'paste' to transfer the copied text into the box. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much MM! I hope i can get the hang of it,it,ll make things a lot simpler!

Opps, sorry swtp, I got it backwards. Left click to copy the text, right click to select to 'copy or paste' the text from one page to another.

Thats ok, knowing me i would have done it backwards to begin with and accidentily gotten it right! But i,ll make a point of following your directions carefully, Thanks again!

Also you can use ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste.

Thanks, All the advise is much appreciated !
