Computer Question

I recently downloaded upgrades to Windows, and ended up with a new Internet Explorer(IE 7.0 I think). I can no longer copy/paste in Wall threads. If someone types in a web address, I can highlight it, then go to "Edit" and "copy " it. But when I click in the address window and then go back to "Edit", the "paste" button is disabled. So I can't paste the address into the address window.

Any ideas??

PS---I can copy/paste the code letters required to post this.

another way to paste

Press the "Ctrl" key hold it and press "v". That will paste whatever is in the clipboard buffer.

Ctrl-c is copy
Ctrl-x is cut and copy

Hope this helps

Thanks Phil,

The Control V worked.

I still don't understand why it doesn't work from the "Edit" dropdown menu.

Thanks,
Al

I just tried it.....

....and you're right! I just upgraded a week ago, and had not realized this!!!!! An easier solution than contol-V is just to highlight the text, then right-click and select "copy" from the menu that appears. Highlight the address bar, right click again, and select "paste." (I tried it to double check that it works before posting this)

Another cool feature of IE 7 is the "tabs" feature. You can open multiple "tabs" of web pages and have them active at the same time, instead of browsing separately. This is really nice when someone posts multiple pictures. Hold the "control" key, and click an internet link, and it will open the link as a new "tab." If you do this on multipe picture (or any web address) links, each will open as its own tab, so the download time is faster!!!

Pretty cool!
