Copying And Pasting
At long last I seem to have nearly cracked how to copy and paste.
Yesterday I attempted to supply a link to an ABer and it came out in Black on the OP and couldn't be accessed.
I just did a practise link on my other computer (laptop) and it came out Red on the blank space I pasted it to and was accessable.
My laptop is windows 8 and this desktop is windows 7. My wife tells me there used to be a chain icon on the toolbar which provided an easy way of providing a link but has disappeared. It does exist on the windows 8 laptop though.
I am no means AT ALL techy so can some one tell me why the link does not come out RED and is not accessable on this PC. TIA for your forebearance. .
