How do you insert a link into a message ?
Thanks
Dennis
I'm using the standard Windows editing keystrokes to get things into and out of the Windows Clipboard: Cut (Ctrl-X), Copy (Ctrl-C), Paste (Ctrl-V). These same options usually also appear on the Edit Menu from whatever application you happen to be using (probably Windows Internet Explorer in your case). Most of these same options will also appear on Right-Click popup context menus once you have selected (by dragging your mouse over text to highlight it) text.
The Pasting part is a bit more simple so I'll start there. With the link already in the windows clipboard (I'll get to that), you can either use the Ctrl-V, Edit Menu->Paste, or right-click popup menu to insert it into a post you're editing.
There are a couple of methods for getting the link into the clipboard in the first place.
1) If you're browsing a webpage, clicking in the URL Address area should highlight the URL path.
Then use either Edit->Copy, Ctrl-C, or RightClick Context Menu->Copy
2) Right clicking on a shortcut in your Favorites view will get a Popup menu. Choose Properties at the bottom. The popup window should show the URL already highlighted when it opens. Use Ctrl-C
3) Some sites will also have a Copy Shortcut option on Right Click Context Menus that will place the URL into the clipboard
