Roy Rogers decided to take some city friends on a camping trip. They saddled the horses and a pack mule and rode of into the wilderness.

Early evening the pitched their tents and settled in for the night. While asleep a panther sneaked into camp and chewed up Roy's fancy patten leather cowboy boots.

The following morning Roy was outraged. He saddled up Trigger and headed for the ranch after a rifle. He told his wife Dale that he was going to get that damn cat.

Later that afternoon, the group returned to the ranch with the dead panther strapped to the pack mule.

Dale came running out of the ranch house singing; " Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes".

Now's my time to ask. How do you quote other peopleto respond to a particular comment, as I normally just retype as a whole. (It's only taken me 3 years to ask !1)

eg. how do you get:

You can quote the next to last post in full by clicking the quote button, like so.

To single out and answer specific comments you can use the quote/unquote button above the reply box.

To quote from the last post, you have to cut and paste.

Hope that helps some.

To hightlight specific parts to quote, do you have to press quote then delete the sections you don't want to display ?

Seems long winded ?

No, You can quote a page or paragraph and then highlight what you desire within the quote, underling, making bold or change color. You can also delete sections within the quoted material.

If you are after a specific part of a post, highlight and copy that which you wish to quote and put it in your post. I usually start out with: so and so wrote: and then paste the words I copied.

Ok thanks Ralph and eccentrically .

I'll use this topic to mess about in rather than contaminate other topics with my trial and error learning ways of making the posting experience more enjoyable for all :-D :)

Hi Chris,

the Therapy is working then, I have gone from totally to slightly, still it has its perks, they know let me drink out of a glass, and use a knife and fork, the biggest problem was when they moved me from the padded room, I cracked my head open a few time but I got use to it in the end!!!

With respect, Trevor

Edit, I hope they do not find out, I sneak into the office and use there computer, shhhhh! Got to go there someone coming.

Need to make Chris's last post quotable , so I need to make it rise off the end of the page (heinious height for more height) since it is the last post on the page before this one !

So that is why I have to post this post --- ( Bugger ! )


Edit : Double Bugger - It was the last post before Trevor posted his last post above .

I'm going to tell Murillo on you two guys if you keep this up !
