copy and paste

[tezestwing]

when you want to use items/information from other sites into your post how do you, without the tedium of minimising -- to task bar how far you have got with Q&A then reopening Internet explorer to find what you want to copy then minimise that then the use of HERE in red how do you do that.
thanks for any assistance Tez

Upgrade to version 7 of IE as it supports tabbed browsing so you can have several sites open at the same time in different tabs.

or even better use firefox, which also supports tabs

As Chuck indicates, using a tabbed browser (such as Firefox, which is what most of the 'regulars' around here use) helps.

If I want to Google something, to answer a question here on AB, I start by going to File > New tab. (So that I've got AB open in one tab and Google in the other). When I find I site I want to link to, I right-click in the address bar and select 'Copy'. Then I return to the first tab, right-click in my post and select 'Paste'.

If you're not using a tabbed browser, you can do exactly the same thing by using two windows. Instead of going to 'New tab', click on the browser icon at the bottom left of your screen. You'll then have two copies of your browser running simultaneously. (Just click on the two boxes at the foot of your screen to toggle between the two).

If I've read your post correctly, you also want to know how to post a link like this .
If you click that link, and look under 'Posting guidelines', you'll see how it's done.
