OT: Problems with Copy & Paste in the new IE7

Disregard my previous post. I found the answer on the IE7 help section. According to them the procedure is to: Highlight the text click on the Page option just to the top right then copy click right mouse button and hit paste to put in the document.

I still like the old IE 6 way better.

... or ask in the right group.

Nick,

No slam intended, but I'd suggest you either ignore "OT" posts or don't bother responding with a corrective message. The person who put the original message out there obviously knows it is off topic if they preface it with "OT" and your reply does nothing but take up more space and time. Anyone who knows it is OT and goes through the trouble of putting the "OT" header in there probably won't listen to your advice anyhow. Just my $0.02. Not a slam or meant as an agressive reply.

Personally, I have no problems with the occasional OT post as I feel it is a community, not a technical forum. ...But then again, I haven't read the charter and I'm betting many others haven't either.

Thanks for that answer David. I am sure there are probably a few other guys on this group that are as computer illiterate as I am and your answer probably saved them some time also.

How about the shortcuts, control-x etc?

Firefox beats ANY version of IE that Bill and his merry crew will ever come up with. Now I only use IE(6) for accessing

Old wordstar relic commands, from the days of Z80's and CPM 2.2

Ctrl-K-C = copy block Ctrl-K-V = paste block

Whole bunch of others there were, young skywalker...

type mozilla.com in the URL bar- follow instructions for downloading.

The insistence on IE was why we switched from Mcafee to Zonelabs.

You can either right click in the empty area next to where you type a web address and then click on the MENU BAR to turn on the old syle menu bar whereupon you will find CUT & PASTE under the EDIT menu

OR

You can use the keyboard equivalents: Control C to COPY Control V to PASTE

Frankly, Nick, I think it's highly complimentary for folks to ask such questions here---secure in the knowledge that there's some pretty heady people reading and responding. This guy was polite enough to use good manners and use an OT heading-----and his inquiry and resulting answers could certainly serve many of us well, assuming we had the same question.

As others have stated previously, I feel this gathering is like family-----and I welcome off topic posts, so long as they don't get too far off the beaten path. Fact is, it's a lot like family----in which some members don't agree with others, and often don't even like them.

You can add the edit button by customizing the toolbar in IE7 (right-click the toolbar and follow the menus), or you can add the menu bar which has "edit" menu in it, the same way.

There is a number of very good reasons why they call it Internet Exploder.

From the second link: Charter -------

Charter -- REC.CRAFTS.METALWORKING

The USENET newsgroup, rec.crafts.metalworking, is a newsgroup which discusses various aspects of working with metal, such as (but not limited to):

machining, as on a lathe, milling machine, grinder, etc.; numerical control of such machines; welding, whether by gas, arc, mig, tig, thermite, or other methods; Metal joining, whether welding, brazing, soldering, riveting, screwing, folding, etc. (this section was added during the discussion) casting various metals by various methods; hardening/tempering various metals; blacksmithing/forging; spinning and hammer work; sheet metal work; jewelry-making; purchasing and/or reconditioning metalworking tools and machinery; interesting projects; books on metal technologies and history;

Example areas of interest:

knife/sword making; automotive repair; steam engine (model/scale, though full-sized discussions are welcome!); art work, such as bronze castings and sculptures; gunsmithing; toolmaking, such as for woodworking, further metalworking, etc.;

While the bulk of the discussion will probably be directed towards small-scale "home" shops, industrial/production discussions are also quite welcome.

HTH, Nick

Oh look, now Nick is changing his posting ID. Why would that be, Nick, so you can (oh, so temporarily) crawl out of killfiles?

Like a turd full of gas this one is...time to flush him again.

You can claim as many crap as you want, but I did NOT change my eMail-address.

I'm not Ignoramus who is changing his address once a week. And if you are not knowledgeable how to filter properly, it is YOUR problem, not mine. But at least, it proves how idiotic the "filter the OT"-answer is.

Nick

And Nick is the skeleton in this familys closet. :-) ...lew...

Oh, then you must have discovered a new bug in slrn for me. Of the two, I suspect _you_ rather than slrn, but you're not worth the effort to check this for.

Igor produces useful information, and I presume, uses the versioned posting name as a mechanism to not get spam from a harvested email address. It's quite an effective method, by the way.

F****ng hypocrite. Mister "I refuse to filter on OT because I would rather complain" tells me how to filter.

Oh, there's idiocy being exhibited, that's for sure.

OK Nick, what _really_ is your goal in your pointless posts about OT messages? Do you ever actually do any metalworking?
