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.
Tiger Signature
Yes Chloe on pc...windows 7
Snipping Tool should suit you then.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Do you know where to find it?
I dont think I have it here, do I download it?
No it is already on your computer. You will find it by going to Start > All Programmes > Accessories. I keep a shortcut to it on my Taskbar but you can easily put a shortcut on your desktop if you prefer.
Thanks Chloe, I found it and have a snapshot saved in pictures but I seem to be having trouble posting it, I usually copy and paste, should I be doing something else?
Hi Karen
Use rich formatting >type your message, You now have a row of icons across the top of your reply box to use.
Click the green square... insert /edit media (left of icon next to word file icon)
In the new box that opens >FILE is empty you need to click BROWSE..
this will take you to your pictures select the pic you want to post,it will have a pale blue box around it,scroll to the bottom of page, (check that its name is the pic you want to post)>click OPEN
and it will now go back to the box and you will see the pic>
scroll down and click INSERT
pic will now be in your message.
Give it a go.
Kate...
EDIT
Thanks to Tiger, HERE is a much more informative link.
Thank you ChloeB, SunnyKate2 and Tiger for the info, when I click on rich formatting a create/edit post page comes up with SunnyKates post, cant seem to get the screen I need!!
