I have written Part 2 of my review, the Ports of Call on Microsoft Works Word Processor, and now can't figure out to move it to this board. I copied it OK, but can't seem to go from there. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

maybe if you copy it to Notepad (under accessories in your menu (Start/Programs/Accessories)) first and then you can copy it here?

Thanks, Nitemare & sunnyv. I copied your instructions and I will try that now. I am so helpless when it comes to computers.
THE RIGHT CLICK WAS THE TRICK!! THANKS!!

You have half the battle won! Are you posting a whole new post or are you adding to an existing one? If you are starting a new one, after you copy it from word, go to the CC boards, click on "New", click in the main body where you post, then RIGHT click on your mouse and click on paste. It should appear! Don't forget to fill in the subject box of your new post.
If you are adding it to an existing post, click on Reply and follow the above instructions for the body of the message.
We look forward to reading it!

Copy/paste is a great way to spell check and correct before posting too.

I have Microsoft Works Word processor. An easier way is to highlight all your text in Works, then press Ctrl C. Then go to the CC message board (either New or Reply) and press Ctrl V.
There's your copied text. No right clicks required.

Thanks, cdnguy,
I'll try your suggestion for the next time.
Isn't it nice the way we all help one another with all sorts of info?

Thanks. That helped me also. Since I switched from AOL to EarthLink, I was having trouble trying to figure out how to copy text such as this, and paste it into MS Word to do a spell check.
Tried it prior to posting this and it worked..... http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

And the funniest part of all this is 'What do I know about computers?' Learned that one from my daughter. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
