snip posts, please

[Guest guest]

Don't forget to snip your posts, everybody. Some of them are getting

verrrrrry loooooonnnnng, and take a long time to download for those

of us with slow connections.

Thank you! And thanks for all the insights. This is a great group!

how does one 'snip' posts? and also, how does one insert text into a portion of

another's text...is this where paste and copy comes in? anything beyond a

completely new message and sending back a repy with the whole original message

is beyond my know-how at this time. any hints? thanks.

All I know is that I can reply to your message and then delete parts

of it by selecting the text and then deleting it.

If I want to insert text into what you wrote I move the my thingy down

to where your text is and then start writing...The thingy (technical

term) is that vertical line that comes and goes and shows me where I

am writing.

hope this helps ...love M

*****how are you receiving the posts: in individual emails, as an

email digest, or are you reading them at Yahoo Groups?

since i only read the posts (and reply) from Yahoo Groups, i can only

speak to that.

to 'snip' parts of old posts, so the new ones aren't too long, just

hit Reply. when the old post appears use the spacebar and backspace

to remove/delete portions you want erased. treat the page in front

of you as you would a word processor.

if you want to insert a portion of another's text, yes, open another

window which contains the text you want to insert, highlight the

text, right arrow click Copy, go back to the location you want to

insert the text, right arrow click, and hit paste. again treat it

just like MS Word.

if you are receiving the stuff in your email or digest form, it may

be the same, but i don't know. sometimes it depends on what software

you are using to open your email (Yahoo emails work the same as the

descriptions above).

good luck and happy posting. :-)
