Hi Ant- Question for today:
How do I copy a letter from my e-mail in order to post it on this site without retyping the letter?
Thanks- Betsy with a cold

Right click your mouse with copy and paste functions, or maybe a good time to try the new www.goodsearch.com/ and see how you like it, if not tried already. We use it al the time now and eventuallly it will pay off for everyone. Good luck!

Hi Skeeter, I am an absolute beginner in computer "how to" knowledge.
I need more step by step instruction. For example, I just tried out what you suggested on the entry I am typing. "Select all" was available (most of the other choices were not available on this screen). I "selected all" and everything was highlighted.
I said to myself--"now what"? ----and had no answer. I clicked the other remaining choice "undo" ---and it did--it cleared what I had typed.
So--now you get an idea of how remedial I am in "how to "computer skills. Thanks for your help. I still want to learn how to do this. Betsy

Hi Betsy, Sometimes that Select All function can be used for your needs but other times you need to do it manually - more on that in a minute. With an email window or the compose boxes here, you can right click, then choose Select All, this will highlight the area. Then right click again anywhere on the highlighted area and choose Copy. When you get to wherever you want to place this info, put your curser there and right click, then choose Paste. If you were on a website page and used the Select All option, usually you will get the entire page including any ads, not just the text you wish to copy. The easiest way to copy in a case like this is to hold down the left side of your mouse and scroll over the entrie text, this will highlight it. Then you right click on any part of this highlighted text and choose Copy, then as mentioned above, go ahead and Paste into your desired area. We're working on instructions for this and other tasks one might need to know when using the forum, we just haven't completed it yet. As we've said before, a lot of people have never had a need to use these functions so nobody would expect you to know them. I've never had a need to play the piano but sure wish I'd learned when I was younger. It's good that you are asking and before you know it, you'll be a pro. Good luck, and let us know if you don't understand any of this, we'll help you all we can.

looks like I arrived late to this party one thing I have found useful is if there is a question I have about running computers I just ask the search engine the question
With all the computer experts out on the net probably any question you might think of is covered by somebody thats almost a constant
yup blue highlight the text right click on the the highlighted text select copy got to post right click again and select paste and by golly you've done it again ;D

Re: Guidance Document distributed for comment purposes only; Docket No. 2006D-0480 Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products/Services –Draft proposal for regulation by FDA 4/16/07 Response from consumer in California I am a consumer of Complementary and Alternative Medicine and associated products. These services and products are very important to me. I wish them to remain just as they are without proposed involvement of the FDA oversight regulations. CAM is not broken; please don’t “fix it”. Instead, I prefer you direct your attention to the safety of our food supply from:
* Genetically modified foods. * Spraying of our packaged Lunch Meat for longer shelf life (allowed summer 2006) I have stopped buying them to avoid possible nanotechnology. * Mercury in our fish * Antibiotics and possible prions in our meat * Future threat of mingling cloned meat into our food supply * Allowing dangerous pesticides to be sprayed on our produce –pre and post harvest * Allowing research grants, etc for Designer Bugs that alter our food supply as well as our total environment
Summary statement: I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to FDA involvement in CAM Services and Products. I am strongly in favor of FDA regulating the SAFETY of our food supply from chemicals, additives, genetic modifications and nanotechnology. Thank you for receiving and registering my input. I will be monitoring the disposition of this draft proposal. Sincerely and respectfully,

Hey-- Thanks to all of you who helped. By some miracle it worked.
I posted here first as (1) a practice of your instructions (2) so you'd know if I was able to follow the steps.
Thanks again to All. Gee, parties are fun.
Betsy
Hey- Ant, I'm putting you on alert so you won't be surprised. I"m having a lot of computer questions lately. Hope you don't mind.
