Computer Help Required Please

I'm afraid I'm pretty much computer illiterate (Road Kill on the information super highway!) :oops: Last March I had a lengthy trip report to submit to the forum, and Critter was able to help me get it moved over, after I had given up in frustration. I have another one to submit. Consider yourselves warned! Can't seem to get it to go by following Critter's instructions from the last time. Right now it's saved as a word-processed document in "My Documents". Critter, if you're out there, or any of you other computer-savvy types have any suggestions as to how I can get it moved over, or copied, or pasted, or folded/spindled/mutilated, or whatever?

Don't remember what I told you a year ago, but probably something along these lines:

Open the web page you want to post your report on:
start a new post
put in the message header
leave web page open

now open your word processor
open the document that is your trip report
Place your cursor before the first letter of the document
holding the shift key down click the end key
release both keys
your entire document is now highlighted
Right click your mouse and then left click on copy
click on the web page on the status bar at the bottom of your computer
Place your cursor in the top left of the message block
Right click your mouse
left click on paste


Your document should now be in the message block.
Click on Submit.

Good luck.

Thanks Critter. It would appear the process worked - with some slight adjustments - and my document was successfully submitted. You can look for it under "Bad Yuletide Poetry" My apologies for my artistic talents, but when the muse moves you, you just have to go along with it. Thanks again...you may take one "Attaboy" out of petty cash.
