Any part of\r\nthese web pages, charts, link lists, web address URLs, etc. may be copied and pasted directly into email,\r\nforums, web pages, etc.. Parts and whole pages have been copied almost everywhere.<b><i>\r\n2.To\r\nget good, plain text, copies,<\/i><\/b>  first highlight the parts desired. Do\r\nthis in MS Internet Explorer (MSIE) by left-clicking and holding down the mouse at the beginning of\r\nthe desired text.\r\nThen (while continuing to press and hold down left-click button) select and highlight text\r\nby dragging over it with the pressed-down mouse. Then use the copy and paste\r\ncommands from the edit\r\nmenu of MSIE. This method keeps blank lines and word wrapping\r\nintact. Don't use the \"save as text\" method from the file menu of MSIE. This method often deletes blank lines, and messes up the word wrapping. <b><i>3.\r\nNotepad,<\/i><\/b>\r\nif necessary, is a great free scratch pad for pasting in plain text, and then\r\nediting it. Notepad comes free with MS Windows operating system. <i><b>4.\r\nCopy the full URLs too. <\/b><\/i>Many email programs, list archives, and message boards\r\nautomatically convert full URLs (web addresses) into CLICKABLE links, as long as the full URL\r\n(starting with http:\/\/ ) is visible, and is on one line. URLs that\r\nare longer than 64 characters (in some places longer or shorter) will often wrap to 2\r\nlines, and thus the URL may not end up being correctly clickable. Some email\r\nsoftware will word-wrap lines longer than 46 characters. So the shorter the URL the more places that a URL will be made\r\nclickable.&nbsp;<i><b>5. For copying and pasting html into forums<\/b><\/i> that\r\naccept html, click \"source\" in the view menu of MSIE.
