Lynn Bodoni teaches C & P:
First you take your mouse, position the cursor on the spot where you want to begin the quote. The cursor will look like a capital letter “I” when it’s in the part of the screen where you CAN copy and paste if you’re writing a letter. It will be an arrow in the subject field of a post. Hold down the LEFT mouse button, and drag the cursor to where you want to end the copied text. If this is more than one screen’s worth of text, then you have to go to the bottom of the screen, sorry.
