Click with your mouse left button at the top of your post, then drag the mouse down to the bottom of your post, keeping the mouse button pressed while you do so.
You will see that all the text is then highlighted.
Press the CTRL key and while pressing that, also press the C key.
This copies the highlighted text.
(2) PASTE
Then if your post has completely disappeared when you look at the topic again and you want to post your original message again without retyping it, all you need to do is click into the post reply box...
Then press the CTRL key again and while that's being pressed, also press the V key.
This "pastes" your copied text into the box... Hence the term "copy and paste"
It's a long-winded step by step explanation for an easy procedure, but once you've learned it, you'll find it really useful. You can copy text from anywhere using this and paste it into other documents... It saves a shedload of time spent typing
It's dead easy Craig (1) COPYClick with your mouse left button at the top of your post, then drag the mouse down to the bottom of your post, keeping the mouse button pressed while you do so.You will see that all the text is then highlighted.Press the CTRL key and while pressing that, also press the C key.This copies the highlighted text.(2) PASTEThen if your post has completely disappeared when you look at the topic again and you want to post your original message again without retyping it, all you need to do is click into the post reply box...Then press the CTRL key again and while that's being pressed, also press the V key.

CHEERS WB-- as you can see ive done it!!well chuffed
Just click in the box and CTRL + A copies all in the "active" window without the need to drag the cursor
soz WB not tryin to outdo you just bein helpful
Yep just as WB said but saves draggin cursor, just click at beginin of text etc that you want then 1,2,3 ctrl+ steps an its "simples"
as the Meercat wud say
CTRL + C saves what you copy to the computers memory (called the "clipboard" ) it stays there till you replace it with someting else.

You'll be doing better than me then Craig - I never bothered replacing my printer when it died... erm... 5 years ago or thereabouts! I don't like rushing these things y'know I email stuff to myself then print it off down the road or at my parents' house!
just happened again at a quiet time of night and it was second post on page THEN did it again on this thread,its getting bloody worse,thats 3 times tonight
Its done it to me 4 times tnite seems to be when more than 1 post goes up at same time ? cos each time I have lost posts either someone has posted on same topic when page reloads or another topic goes to top of active topics list
It's just done it to me again! Its a good job I copy my messages before sending them. Has the swine flu infected the systems?
As for all these key strokes to copy, save and paste, what's wrong with using the mouse and clicking on copy and paste from the pull down menus. BTW, not all of us right or left click since we have just the one button.
