Cary Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Katieb did a great job. Can someone help Norme.(I'm not good at explanations) Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmydog2 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Norme, You simply put mouse on first line that you want to copy. When you put mouse on first word you then scroll down while holding the mouse button. Your words will be highlighted. Now (why highlighted) go to top of screen to EDIT. When you click EDIT you will see COPY. Click there. Now go to your letter that you are composing. In the space where you write the letter...click one time so your curser will be there as if you were going to start writing). Now go to EDIT at top again and click PASTE. You got it. You can use the PASTE over again untill you click on COPY again. This helps if you are writing more than one letter. Hope I did not loose you anywhere. Now LET'S WRITE THOSE E-MAILS AND FLOOD THEIR MAILBOX. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveG Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Suggestion: Repeat this process next week. Lung Cancer has been greatly outshadowed by the world events of the day. Yes lung cancer will most like take 1000 x the numbers of Americans killed in Iraq, but again we will lose the implication because of world opinion. It is sad that Americans have had to die for this cause. It is also sad that 435 Americans die of lung cancer each day. Continue to write your letters. Unfortunately the liitle blip that lung cancer put on the radar screen, this weekend, has been outshadowed by a hug blip on the horizon. Hopefully, if the little blips continue, we may get someone's attention. It was a great idea, but we got blind sided by a BIG world event. so, save your emails and email addresses and do it again next weekend. Hopefully it will be a slow news weekend.
