I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

CONGRATULATIONS KEITH You JUST DID YOUR FIRST POSH LINK...first of many!
ALICAT - You only mastered this yourself yesterday and now are an excellent teacher - It worked first time following your instructions but it is very long drawn out.
Will have to print off your instructions as I could not understand the ones on the Thread.
Thank you very much and TIGER will be very proud of you. I will need to practice this a few times and am sure will get stuck a few times also.

Well done. You see that it is not as difficult as you thought! :)
TIGER at this rate I may post a posh link once a month.

The secret now is to do ten of them!
TIGER/ALICAT - I was a grumpy man last night trying from early evening through to midnight and could not master it so thought I would shout for help when I got in from work.
Thanks again Alicat.
Like this is The Technical Thread
TIGER - I will but the first I had Alicats instruction in my dialogue box to follow so will have to print off the instruction first.
I will be on later and post a couple of Posh Links for practice if you do not mind.
Instructions
1. Store the link you want in the clipboard
2. Write your text
3. Decide which word or words is going to be your posh link
4. Highlight it by drawing the cursor across it.
5. Click the chain icon to bring up a dialog box
6. Then either clear the link URL box or highlight whatever is in it and paste in the link (This will automatically clear the box and insert the required URL)
7. Decided if the link is going to open in a new window or not by using the menu in the target window.
8. Then click insert
Job done
