Guest morgan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I can't highlight and move text in any of my e-mail programs. After I highlight it and try to move it, the circle with an X in it shows up. I don't recall any setting that I changed, but I did download the latest version before this started.

In Memoriam Stretch Posted October 14, 2007 In Memoriam Share Posted October 14, 2007 Are you talking about Hadit email, microsoft outlook express, or some other email program?

Guest morgan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Sorry, Stretch, I should have said I use Outlook Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Memoriam Stretch Posted October 17, 2007 In Memoriam Share Posted October 17, 2007 Sounds to me like you are trying to select text from within a picture. If you want to copy the picture of the text: Go to the lower left of the picture right click and hold down the button at the lower right of the picture. Move you mouse to the upper left corner until the picture is all highlighted (green in outlook express). Left click and select Copy or hit your Control and C. To paste left click and select paste or hit Control and V.

Guest morgan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm sorry I'm not being clearer, I really appreciate your time trying to help. I'm trying to edit the text; for instance, by highlighting text, holding down CTRL, and moving a sentence to a different paragraph in an e-mail. I could always do that before, but now I get the circle with a diagonal line in it. I think I said and X in it before, but it's a diagonal line.

Torvald Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 CMorgan, Try the following method and see if this works: 1. Use your left mouse button to highlight the text you're interested in. 2. Then right-click your mouse and choose "copy" from the menu that pops up. 3. Move your cursor to wherever you want the info copied to, right-click your mouse and choose "paste" from the menu that popos up. Good Luck. "My wife says I have the body of a God.........Buddha."
