As you asked what copy and paste was, I thought I had better tell you that as well. Highlight the thing you want in exactly the same way as described above. This time go to Edit on the top of the screen click on the word 'copy' Nothing seems to happen, but the computer has copied the words you highlighted in blue. Open something like Word, you will have a blank page. Go to edit on the top of this page and this time click on Paste. Your stuff will appear and then you save it, or print it from there. As Snowdrops explained, you can copy the whole lot of the thread as she explained, but sometimes you may only want to copy part of something, so you do it as above. I hopeyou get on OK, Linda

Sunny, once you've mastered the art of 'copy and paste', you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!

Go to your thread Left click in front of the word you want to start from, hold the left button down while you pull your mouse down the screen, it will start to turn blue. Keep going down until what you want turns blue.Leave go of the mouse and it should stay blue, this is called highlighting it. Now move the mouse up to the very top of hte screen and click on file Scroll down until you get to print and click on this look for the little circles, the one saying 'all' will have a dot in it. Go to the one saying selection and click in that so the dot goes in there. Then click OK at the bottom and your thread should print out. Linda
