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.

How long it took me to do them! It was far quicker to just copy and paste the url.
Then I saw you going through it with Mike, and thought I would follow your instructions.

So my instructions work then.
Were you typing the URLS?
Nothing wrong with copying and pasting short urls but long and unweildy ones are much neater done as posh links.
Of course if you do want to shorten an url you could try http://tinyurl.com/
No, I was getting in a mess with the copying and pasting. I was copying the url, then realising that I should have copied the LINK word first, which then meant I had to do the LINK word, by which time the url was now gone so I couldn't paste it, and then it would just all turn into my worst nightmare!

Yes the order is important. You got to get your URL into the clipboard before your start creating your link.
Always very valuable to try and understand where people were going wrong.
The real problem is there is such a muliplicity of browsers etc.
