How does a person just quote a portion of a paragraph? Thanks for the help.

Or highlight, cut what you want, delete the rest and paste what you have cut.

It always amazes me how many different ways there are to do something on a computer.

Once you have this text box, you can edit it any way you want, including taking out numerous "edited on 7-21-07 by you" notations if you have to go back and fix things. It took me several tries to get the right pic posted recently and I each time I took out the previous "edited" notation or there would have been a long list of them. (Alas, there will always be one left behind...that's a good thing...keeps the potential "historical revisionists" honest.) :biggrin:

Text box- recently I inquired about using quotes and how to quote just certain parts of a reading. My question should have been how to "bring up " the text box and apply it.:?:
