    Could someone with some time please provide me with STEP by STEP instructions on how you put that box around what someone has said (to quote)  and then move it .

    Thanks so much!

    Hi Casey,

    Could someone with some time please provide me with STEP by STEP instructions

     

    I'm not sure if I know the best way to do this, but what I do is:

    1) copy the quote (select the text from the original message which is below the Post Reply input box, then control-C)

    2) paste it to where I want it in the Post Reply box (select the location then Control-V)

    3) select the quote text in the post reply box

    4) hit the Quote Selection button on the post reply toolbar, it has a picture of upper and lower double quotes

    Good luck with it

    Or, you can just hit “quote” and it will bring up the entire post you are responding to and then delete any parts you don't want.

    Either way, same result.

    You're going to be embarrassed when I tell you it is exactly the same way.  I went to your post and hit “quote.” :roll-laugh:
