How Do I ...

You can also copy and paste by highlighting what you want to copy and then clicking Edit on your browser and selecting the Copy or Paste option. Hope you do not mind me interrupting on a sticky. Just trying to help

I think this should be renamed "copy and paste 101"

Thanks Ami for all of your help. It was easy once I got the right keys going.

How do I edit or delete an inadvertently posted message?

[hoosier]

In the bottom right-hand corner of any post you created yourself, there should be a button labeled "Edit."

If you click on that, it will give you the option to delete your post or revise the post without deleting it.

Here's another. I'm seeing screaming blue and red type here and there, and I'm still trying to figure out how to underline or bold or italicize. I once attached a Word reply and it didn't translate.

I'm a great believer in the idea that emphasis is in the words, but now and then, I'd like to put some emphasis on this or that. One of you will set me straight. Of that I'm certain. So ... how do I?
