>Bill, I love these articles and thank you very much for posting them; but it's incredibly tedious to open a new window for the main board and then mucking about until I happen to see your article among all the stuff about which I have no interest. Can I ask why you don't pick up the url at the time you post it and put the link in the message here? Then I could just click on the link and go.

>Pam,

Since you have already gone through the trouble of finding the link, can you post it as a reply to Bill's post?

Thanks so much,

>I do not know how to do whatever it was you asked, but willing to learn.

pick up the url - don't know what that means

put the link in the message here- don't know how to do that part

I would repost the whole thing here if I didn' t have to reformat the pictures to meet the 2/3 size requirements for this forum.

>OK, this is so easy you'll kick yourself. Go to the message, preferably the first in the thread, look for a box on your web page that holds the address (will start with http://www.woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/), click in that box and select all, then copy.

Now in your message here you'll see a box described as "Optional Link URL:" click in this box, select all, paste. That's it.

I'll give that a try..thanks

>but never underestimate my ability to misinterpret computer instructions. Someone spent 1/2 hour showing me how (unsuccessfully) to copy my Doc files to a back up stick memory. Finally after much arcane instructions in exasperation he says well I would do it on my computer with 3 key strokes- control A, C, V. Shoot I says, I know how to use those keys. Why didn't you tell me that to begin with? Three strokes later success was at hand.

>Well, the obvious problem with specifying keyboard shortcuts is that not all of us use the same computer operating systems. Cmd-A, Cmd-C, Cmd-V does it for my Mac.

>Bill, I got your email but just changed to a cable modem and can't email out right now. The answer is: You have to pick up the address after posting the message to the regular message board, by bringing the new message into focus.

Pam

Try this, please *LINK*

>I can't find the thing to copy. the only address I see is the one I pasted below. This address does not change when I change what post I open. I am using Mozilla

Bill, please listen carefully: you must be sitting on the message to which you want to link to see the appropriate address to copy. It can't be just any old message.

So, click on the link below. When you get there, look at the top and/or bottom of the screen for an address that is http://www.woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/messages.pl?frames;read=325192

If you don't see this anywhere on your screen, you need to add a toolbar display. To do this go to the View menu and turn on all the toolbars and sidebars.
