Noreen - rather than trying to upload it, do what Hep said, and highilight it, right click your highlight, then "copy" and "paste" onto your reply message. If you also want to post the link, you either need to (1) edit your message, copying the link, or (2) do what I do and copy and past the article and , separately, the link address, onto a new Word document (or clipboard, etc etc) then copy THAT by right clicking and pasting into your FORT message.

Does that help?

Right, it's simpler than you're making it, Noreen.

If you highlight text with your mouse and hit Control-C, your browser will recognize it as test. Just aim your mouse into a reply box and hit Control-V, and the text will appear.

OK, I tried everything. Windows XP will not let me highlight, that's why I
put the article in a folder and tried to upload.

Hmm, I have XP and it allows me to highlight. Highlighting is when you drag your mouse and it makes the background of the text darker. Maybe that's your problem? Do you know how to highlight?

Yes, I do know how to highlight.
I finally got it. What I was doing wrong was not having the reply box in the right place for the text to appear.
The control-V is what worked for me.
Thanks everyone for your help. This has been bugging me for a long time.
