I agree about using Windows copy & paste to extract text and pictures from here on YT and then inserting them into your own "personal handbook" via a decent word processor. You can print all or parts of your handbook out to take right to your tractor to do work, but also keep a "clean" copy on your computer to refer to and share with other N-buddies. If you do this, I would also recommend backing it up to floppy disk occasionally to save a copy of your work. You can copy text from messages here on YT by putting your cursor at the beginning of a block of information that you want. You'll see your cursor change from an arrow to an "I-beam" to let you know that you can start copying. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse from that point to the end of what you want to copy, and then release the left mouse button. The block of selected text should be highlighted to show your selection. If you don't get what you want, just do it again. Now you've selected your text and it's time to copy it. You can copy it to Windows clipboard (a mysterious place where Windows stores what you copy and cut-out) a couple different ways. If you are comfortable with using the mouse, put the mouse somewhere over the highlighted text and press the right mouse button. A menu will appear and one of the options will be Copy. Choose this and the highlighted text is now stored in the Windows clipboard. The other way to copy the text is to press the Ctrl and C keys simultaneously. Ok, you now have "grabbed" the text that you want. Switch to your word processor, where you should have a document opened and ready to go. Put your cursor in the document where you want the copied text to be inserted and either press Ctrl and V simultaneously, or right-click your mouse and choose Paste to insert the text. Don't forget to save this file to disk when you are finished with your work. Copying picture (image) files from here and pasting them to your word processor is done as follows: - Put your mouse cursor inside the picture anywhere and right-click it.
- Choose Copy just like you did for the text.
- Switch over to your word processor document and place your cursor where you want the picture to be and either press Ctrl and V simultaneously, or right-click your mouse and choose Paste to insert the picture in your document. Doing this over time will allow you to create a highly personalized handbook for your N-tractor. You can print out all or parts, refer to it on your PC, share it with other N-buddies, etc. Hope this helps..... ..... Ed
