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.:?:
