Pam has it right! I go to the bottom of the OP. Left click and drag up as far as i wish to copy. This highlights it ...right click ..hit copy. Go to your new post box with cursor inside the box right click and hit paste. Simple! Too many are still using quote......but it's up to the individual of course.
Cool, I never knew about this method. As soon as QOTD is up today I'll have to try it.
I'm surprised anyone did it any other way! Copy and paste - it's logical.
Edit: I would also like to add that many computer users don't know about the many times during their computer routines that right-clicking brings up some really neat and useful things! I remember when I was told about it - I found out that I was missing out on so much good stuff. Just right click wherever you go and enjoy.

Ok,,,, Please stop talking about how to “paste†the text info. What I need to know is“how to I get all this sticky glue off the monitor after I change screens?â€
I wanted to make a sticky keyboard joke....but decided to avoid getting banned.
For my answers, I just click on B and A to make it bold and choose my color when I start to type.
I've never had to do anything to make my answers in the bold type. When I copy and paste all my answers come out bold anyway. Every now and then, on the weekend replacements for Karla, I'll have to click on bold for one or two.
Wow, that was so easy! How is it I never knew about that method before. Thanks cityflair for starting this thread. And thanks to rainroosty, satx, PJ, nitram and everyone else who knew about it.

Good advice, rainroosty! You never know until you try.
I'm not very computer-savvy, but I can do the basics. Those who are really good at PC stuff sometimes forget that there are people in our C-D family at every level of PC know-how.
Right-clicks can open a whole lot of choices. Also, if you just place your cursor over buttons in your tool bars, you'll get a little note that tells you what that button is for. If you see a button (icon) with a little arrow next to it, click on the arrow and it gives you a "drop-down" menu of more choices. The world is your oyster!

In case people don't know, they can highlight by dragging from bottom to top or from top to bottom. I always go top to bottom.
