Apologies for posting this query here but not sure where else to post
Please can someone advise/explain how I can keep track of posts that I am interested in ?
There has been much help offered on my various modelling issues by members of the forum and I have been printing off the suggestions and ideas but there must be a better way of "saving" the posts that I need for future reference.
Also there are posts that I don't need to print but just want to go back to from time to time
As I am IT-challenged I cannot, however, work this out !
Please can someone advise me ?
Thanks
Bob Berry
Bob,
There's probably easier and more efficient ways, but I have used the same system for a while now without problems:
Open up a new document in your word processer (doesn't matter what it is - I use Word, but Works or probably anything else would do just as well).
I usually highlight just the date and title part of an individual posting (left click and hold, drag over the portion of text you want, then right click and select "copy"). Then paste this into the new document (place the cursor into the document and right click, select "paste")
Then highlight the text/photos of the posting that you want in the same way and copy/paste this in. Doing it this way keeps the document that you will start to build up into just titles and texts, without the encumberance of all the table boxes and peripheral stuff that you will get if you just highlight the whole lot and then copy/paste. If you have copied and pasted photos, you may wish to resize them in the document by simply dragging the corners of the "frame" around the image when you click on it to satisfactorily fit into the margins of the document.
I have one ongoing document where I have been copying and pasting the postings made by a member on NGRM-Online forum with his descriptions and photos of his layout that has now reached 59 pages in the document, but does not have all the unwanted claggage of other people's comments and postings etc.
Works OK for me anyway!

Mick,
Thanks for your help, I have copied your reply using this method and it works fine.
I just knew there would be a better way of doing things but being I.T. challenged I could just not work it out.
