Sending links

[Cleocima]

How exactly does one send a 'link' with an answer, e-mail, or instant message?

[eash]

I just copy and paste the address bar from IE.

[ChuckFickens]

in most things (answers on here, and IM's) just make sure you include the http:// at the begining and it will be a link, for example

www.theanswerbank.co.uk

isn't a link

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk

is a link

though in some emails it is a little different and can depend on what you are writing the email in

[elcee45]

agree with eash

[Cleocima]

Thanks, I'll try it.

Full instructions

1) In a browser window open up the web site you want the link for

2) With the address still in the browser window, stripe the web site text (hold down the left button of the mouse and drag across it). The text should turn blue.

3) With the text still blue, copy the text by holding down the Ctrl key then pressing the letter C

4) Now move the cursor where you want to PLACE the text (in the email or wherever) by clicking there.

5) Now paste the text by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the letter V.

This should work

The key strokes "Ctrl C" and "Ctrl V" should copy and paste text in any situation.

Sorry Chuck, I didn't mean to miss you out. Your answer was extremely useful too.
