Someone on GR has been kind enough to send me the results of a look up she did for me through the "Messages" tab, I would like to save it to my computer and also forward the results to my cousin whom I am working with on our family tree. Could someone tell me how to do this please.
Thanks.

The best way is probably to copy and paste it into a word document and then save that.

Go to what you want to copy and paste and then left click your mouse and keep the button pressed down and drag it over everything you want to copy until it is highlighted. Then right click your mouse and pick off "copy".

Then open a word page if you have "Word" on your computer (you should find it by clicking the "start" button and looking in "all programmes").

Then right click on your mouse and pick off "paste". What you have copied should then be "pasted" onto the page.

You can then save this to your desktop and send it to whoever you want to.

Hope you can understand this. I'm not that good with computers myself.

You may be lucky and someone else will explain it better than me.
