New Formatting

[MTIH1992]

I love the new formatting of the website which allows easyer copying and pasting of the info without selecting all the adversts and things too. Nice Job Ed.

Are you getting something I'm not Matty?

For example, If I try to highlight the word 'formatting' in your question, I still get everything down the centre section (down to 'all rights reserved') and all the adverts down the right hand side as well. What browser are you using? I'm on IE6 + Windows XP?

I know how to copy a whole chunk of text from here....gen2 if you right click the end of the text 3 times it highlights it then copy it that way, but i've no idea how to copy just a bit of the text?

you're learning BOO

[B00]

aye everyday adar everyday.

[ventpeg]

doesnt seem to work for me ...

can you give some more guidance, please

LEFT click once somewhere in the block of text you want to copy.

Then LEFT click 3 times and the text will be highlighted.

Press Ctrl + C (this will copy the text).

Go to where you want to copy the text, then press Ctrl + V.

Here is Matty's original question copied in this way:

What you describe, SteveD has ALWAYS been possible.
2 clicks selects a word
3 clicks selects a paragraph

Matty is suggesting that there are some NEW CHANGES which makes selective copying easier. I am still waiting for Matty to explain what exactly he can do now that he couldn't do before. I see no change myself.

Im using the latest Mozilla Firefox.

[MTIH1992]

Using Mozilla Firefox, I can easily drag my mouse over a block of text and select the specific text i want, with no adverts etc.

I've always been able to do that in Firefox but the "N" in ma name never appears if folk view it in Fiferox.

Just tried Steve's method: 2 taps on touch pad (laptop) highlights 1 word Ctrl +C, Ctrl + V, then Left click (left handed just to be awkward lol), Paste and hey presto! The above taken is from Matty's username. Three taps gives me the whole paragraph.

Cheers!!

Oi P&M, I said it 1st!!!

:-(

[pie+mash]

So, so sorry B00 wasna ignoring you, but you did say about no idea how to copy a bit of text. To be honest I didn't know any of this method anyway.

But now I do, Yipee!!

Please say I'm still your friend B00? :'(

You have an N in your name, corbyloo?

Cornbyloo?

[rojash]

And all this time, I was under the impression that TheCorbyLoo was a famous Northants landmark...

[THECORBYLOON]

It's THECORBYLOON I'll not bore you wi why...

[Cetti]

Just tried Copying and Pasting and can use both methods quite easily. One word or a whole paragraph.

Can everyone do this, or is it something to do with using IE7?

[jno]

well, I dunno, B00, I coulda sworn you said right-click, and right-clicking just doesn't do it for me. Left-clicking sort of does it though it sometimes brings in a bit of extraneous matter. I have Windows 1928, if that makes any difference.

IT used to be that you could only copy masssive chunks ot text. Think that was in IE6. Both of the latest versions, IE7 and Firefox 2.0 allow copying of as little or as much text as required.
