I was having trouble copying and pasting things from Dave's Garden pages (jokes, stories, etc.) that I wanted to E-mail to friends until I discovered the "Paste Special" button in the drop down menu for "Edit" (I'm using Windows ME).

I found I can mark the text I want, hit "Edit", then "Copy" as usual. When I want to add the text to an E-mail, I hit "Edit" then "Paste Special" then choose the "Unformatted Text" from the drop down menu for "Paste Special." The text from DG then copies into MS Word.

The typical "Paste" button would give me a message: "An error has occurred...."

I am now able to copy & paste and send along all your great jokes, comments, and other information to friends.

There may be no one else as computer illiterate as I am, but hopefully this info will help a few.

Thanks!

Jeremy
