copying text from a previous post to display in box fashion

Post by peggyo »

Hi:

I was wondering how to copy text from a previous post, as when it displays in a box fashion in your response, so the person knows exactly what you are responding to.

Sorry, tried to figure it out on my own, but I'm not so very techno.

Thanks much!

how to copy text from a previous post
Highlight the portion you want to quote.
Right click & choose 'copy'
On the reply screen click 'quote' at the top of the page
Right click & choose 'paste'
Click 'quote' at the top of the page again.

OR

once you've copied & pasted, highlight the whole bit
on the reply screen & then click 'quote'

several ways to do it - so whatever you find easier
it will appear on the reply screen like this (without the spaces)
