    Forum Tip: Easily quoting just one sentence of a previous post

    Reply Contact

    You probably already know you can quote a previous post in your post by clicking the Quote button.

    If you highlight a section of the previous post and then click the Quote button, only the highlighted portion is quoted.  This is nice if you just want to quote one sentence or one section.

    You can also do this repeatedly in the same post, for example to answer 2 separate questions by the previous poster.

    Happy posting!

    Is it possible to quote more than one poster in the same post?

    I copied Maureens text and pasted it.  then in front of her text I typed [ quote ] (but without the spaces)  and then [/ quote ].  Then I highlighted the part of your post I wanted and clicked quote
