Copying and Pasting a URL into a Message

You may add a URL or web page address to your bulletin board messages or WebCT messages. You can type in the URL. When you post it, the address will be linked. Or you can cut and paste it. The following instructions are for cutting and pasting in Netscape.

1. Go to the bulletin board.
2. Open a new browser window: File, New, Navigator Window
3. Go to the web page
4. Click once in the Location bar so the http://www address is highlighted. (If one click doesn't work, double click.
5. From the menu, choose Edit, Copy.
6. Switch back to your message in the bulletin board (click on Window on the menu to see all the Netscape windows you have open).
7. Start your message (compose or reply).
8. From the Discussion Message Menu (the smaller window, not the Netscape menu), choose Edit, Paste.
9. Then finish and send your message as usual.
