What I do is to save it into a Word document on my computer


I open a file in Word

I highlight and copy the information on here by doing CTRL + C

Then I switch to the Word document, place the cursor where I want the information to go, and do CTRL + V

Hi Sylvia and Margaret.

The answer is No-because it has disappeared !!

I had spent 2 hrs trying to work out how to do it, after your advice decided I had better give it a rest and come back with renewed vigour (!!) and it has gone!

Any info on INis' site before about 21 hours last night (17th) has been wiped.

I had it bookmarked, could not beleive it !

Am told that it is MR INis!

He is certainly very helpful with searches for Irish ancestors.

Have been trying to transfer the info but although I have succeeded in getting it into a Word File it is not quite right as I have not got just the highlighted bits but I have the whole page !!

Never mind....if at first etc !

Many thanks for your interest

Elizabeth
