    I need to paste a certain website in e-mails. The website address remains the same and I provide that site address to different individuals. What is the best way to have that site address ready to paste into an e-mail. Right now I have it saved in Notepad on the Desktop but I have to open Notepad, Edit, Select All, and Copy. Is there any way to shortcut that process?

    Hi Virginia,

    Someone may have a better way, but you could create a shortcut to the website on the desktop and drag it to the quick launch section of the taskbar. Then when your'e ready for it, click it and when it loads, right click address, copy and paste it into email via the hyperlink feature.

    Assuming this is OE:
    *Save your address in notepad and put in handy place such as desktop.
    *While composing your email and when ready to insert url to site:
    *Click the insert icon where you want the url to be
    *And from the top menubar select "insert "> "text from file" and browse to your "saved_url.txt" on desktop.

    Could also just attach the url by a dragNdrop. You'd have to refer to who ever you were sending the mail to the attach url. This is a bit of task for the receiver and may even be blocked by security settings............nah forget this one it's a bad idea..........

    Hmmm....
    *How about putting the Url in your addressbook
    *When needed Click on the To Button beside your "To" Type_in field under your "Send Address" Type_in_field
    *Insert the url from the addressbook popup
    *Cut and paste it into email from there.

    At least that keeps you within OE, without any side trips to do the copyNpaste.

    Thanks Dave and Ann. I have it all fixed up now and the shortcut is working. I hadn't thought of dragging it down to the quick launch. And you can assume that I am using OE. Shortly after your post I updated my profile to include it. Thanks a lot.
