    I can't copy text from a post to insert somewhere else. Am I doing something wrong?

    When I highlight text, it 'unhighlights' when I release the mouse button. What gives?

    After ya'lls responses, I switched to the other computer, and it works here...

    very mysterious---

    It's not the mouse... it's an optical cordless one... maybe I need a reboot.

    Thanks, frank

    If the colour is changing into blue when holding the left mouse button, you can also copy the text by pressing the Ctrl and c on your keyboard at the same time.

    Pasting the text is done by pressing Ctrl and v at the same time.

    But it's so much easier to use your mouse.. :Smarty:
