Hi Andy,
Getting long URLs into the address text box of Internet
Explorer is not too difficult, but you do need to take care.
The first things you have to appreciate is that you cannot
copy and paste more than one line at a time.
Second, take great care to ensure that you know exactly
where the address begins. For example, if you look below
where the long URL is requoted, you will see that there is a
> sign and a space in front of each line which you must
avoid copying.
Place your cursor at the beginning of the first line of the
address. In the example below, you will see that the actual
address begins in column 2 - http://.....
Now hold down your shift key, and keeping it held down,
press the End key. This will highlight the line.
Hold down the Ctrl key, and with it held down, press c,
which copies the line to the clipboard.
Go to Internet Explorer, make sure the address line is
blank, and your cursor is at the beginning of it. Hold down
Ctrl, and press v. This will paste the line you have just
copied above.
Pres the End key to ensure your cursor is now at the end of
what you have just pasted.
Go back to the message, and copy the second line as
described above.
Back to Explorer, and Ctrl v to paste the second line, and
again press End to ensure your cursor is at the end again.
Repeat until you have pasted the whole address is place.
Once you have done that, you can tell Explorer to go.
George.
