Ira or anyone: computer question about links:

I just put this on US board by mistake. Novice question. Could someone tell me how to get a link that is not underlined to come up without WRITING down the info and then putting it in the address bar? I just can't figure out how to do it and am missing out on good stuff!! Thank you!

Highlight the address, copy it, and then paste it into the browser address line. That should do it.

Be aware, however, that sometimes -- for mysterious reasons -- your cursor will not actually "pick up" everything in the link address, often dropping the last few characters. When you "paste" the link into your address bar, note carefully whether all elements have been picked up. If not, either fill it in manually or cut-and-paste the part that didn't transfer.

<i>&quot;copy it, and then paste it&quot;</i>

Copy would be &quot;CTRL c&quot; and paste would be &quot;CTRL v&quot;

To make it more clear (cuz you may not know)

highlight the link you want to copy.

Press CTRL and C at the same time.

That saves it into the 'memory' for the moment (it replaces it when you do it on something else)

Then go to your browser line and press CTRL and V at the same time to paste it there... then press enter, it should work fine.

Alternatively, you can highlight an area then right-click on it, and the option of COPY comes up to choose... do the same thing to right-click inthe browser window to PASTE.

Again, great minds think alike... duplicate posts at the same time
