Hi Len, Paul,

I agree it was an interesting site, couldn’t stop reading, thanks Paul

Links – sounds long winded, takes longer to type than do…

Easiest way is to open a second window.  enter the editor and then shrink the window. click the middle box, top right (next to the red X), now click and hold the top bar and move the window to the top of your screen. now move your cursor to the bottom right corner, it should change to a diagonal arrow and you will be able to resize the window. make it about half way – fun isn’t it !

Now click on your explorer icon to load up internet again.  Do the same as before, but this time move the window to the bottom half of your screen – Nearly done – in this second window load up the site you want to link to and when loaded just click on the address bar, the background will turn blue. right click on it and select copy from the menu.  Move to you editor window and left click where you want the address, now right click and select paste – and there you are, you can now close the second window and enlarge your editor.

Sorry about the amount of text – its so easy to do but hard to explain in a letter.

Cheers – Ken

Hi Paul,

Yes I agree, it is an easier way, but does not always work for me.  Often when I come to re-paste, the option is greyed out.  working with 2 windows never fails me.  What works for one person often does not for someone else – You had no problem including photos whilst the rest of us were pulling our hair out!

I think a lot of the problems is the computers themselves – I doubt if there are two the same – all have different processors, memory, settings, programmes etc.

We find a way that works for us and keep to it

Cheers – Ken
