It is helpful to others if you follow Danny's instructions whenever you want to include an address (URL) in a post. However if you are using Windows and you find that the URL in someone else's post isn't set up as a link, you don't need to write it down and then type it into the address location of your browser. Instead, try using the Copy and Paste functions to copy the URL and then paste it into the address location. 1. Click the LEFT mouse button at the start of the URL that you want to copy and hold it down while you drag your mouse to the end of the URL. 2. Let go of the left mouse button. You will notice that the URL is now highlighted. 3. Next click the RIGHT mouse button and select Copy from the menu that appears. 4. Now place your mouse in the address location of your browser and LEFT click your mouse. This will cause the current location to be highlighted. 5. Right click on your mouse again and this time select Paste from the menu. The text that you copied in step 3 will replace the location that was highlighted in step 4. Copy and paste are two very useful functions.
