how do I quote from a section of a post?

[Butter]

Alternatively, click on "Reply With Quote", then just edit the text that appears between "[QUOTE...]" and "

", cutting out any bits you don't want to include.

As jan already pointed out, I now realise -[/QUOTE]

I think this is easier still

 

[Butter]

no it isn't - that was a dog's breakfast

You just click on the Multi-quote icon on the bottom of each reply you want to quote, you will see that it gives each one a tick, then you click on Reply to Thread, and the reply box has the relevant posts quoted inside it, which you can edit to suit yourselves by deleting bits you don't want.

Simples!

 

[Butter]

Simples!

when you know how - thank you

Quick way to copy and paste (most typists will use this method).......

Highlight the text you want then press Ctrl (bottom left) and the the letter C

to paste

Place your curser where you want to put the text and then press Ctrl V

Voilà

(Re the original query,I've just realised that I use the right mouse button to copy and paste)

Now can I hijack Butters thread and ask how to multi quote from different posts?

Once I've clicked on REPLY, I just scroll down to the preceding posts below the reply area and highlight the part of the post I want to copy, right click and copy then go back to the reply and right click and paste. You can do this as many times as you like from the same thread. I hope that helps - and that you can understand it!

Go to 'Settings' - top right of page - then 'Edit Avatar' and it will give you the option of uploading a photo from your computer. does this help?

 

[Butter]

Hi Butter, on my keyboard if I want the accent over the "E", before typing the " E" I press the "Alt Gr" key.

It is available in symbols in word or from a translation site by typing in the English word and then copy and pasteing it into place


Voilà (as they say in France!!)
