Find 'Tips' very interesting and instructive and many times would like to save some item - please can someone tell me in VERY basic language how I can do this. Keep seeing 'nudge' which appears to cover this but don't have a clue what it means and how it works. would be very grateful for advice Yvonne

You need to 'copy and paste'. Nudge just moves a thread to the top of the page again. Click your mouse at the beginning of the text that you want to copy, hold down your left mouse button and highlight the text by dragging the mouse over it. Release the left mouse button, click the right one and chose 'copy' from the menu that appears. Open word or whatever word processing software you have, open a blank document, right click on it somewhere and chose 'paste'. Then save the document. Sam x

If there is a thread on the tips board that you'd like to save, just add a reply to the thread (by clicking on add reply at the top). You just need to type something like 'nudge'. Then the next time you want to find it, click on tips board and then click on 'Your threads Only' at top of page. This will bring up any threads you have added a reply to. Then click on whichever thread you want, and then click on 'all replies'. A much easier way is to copy and paste what you want to keep into a Word document. Kath. x
