Need help coping from an e-mail

[Bobh]

Hi -
I need instructions.  I have received a long e-mail.  I want to print only a small part.  I know how to hi-light the part I want to print but what do I do next?
I am using Vista Home Basic on an E Machine  32 bit.  I hope I given enough information.  Thanks   Bob

Copy the text and paste it to a text editor (notepad, MS Word, etc) and print it from there.

Allan -
Thanks for your reply.  I hi-light the part I want and you say  paste it to a text editor.   What is a text editor.  I have used wordpad but when I bring up wordpad and click on "copy" it goes back to the part of the e-mail I have hi-lighted.  Thanks for your help.  You have helped me before and I appreciate that.   Bob

I don't understand what you are doing. Just open the email and highlight the text you want to print. Then right click on it and choose COPY. Now open a new document in Word Pad and choose "PASTE".

Or highlight ...then CTRL -C to copy...
Then open wordpad and CTRL-V to paste.

Allan & Patio -
OK I got it.  My mistake was that I did not recognize the copy icon that was in the heading of Word Pad.  Thanks     Bob

[Allan]

Bob - even if it wasn't, all you have to do is either right-click in the body of the message and then choose PASTE from the context menu or, as patio said, just press CTRL-V to paste. Anyway, glad you got it sorted out.

What I should have said was:  I did not recognize the "paste" icon in the Word Pad heading.   Bob

[Allan]

Yes, I knew what you meant .
