Hi,

Just wondering if it's safe, (i.e., no more technical problems) to start on my trip report on the Slow Travel format. I don't want to lose anything.

Ginger, you can go ahead and enter your report, but I do strongly urge you to make a back-up copy of each page (copy and paste it into an e-mail to yourself or something), for all the reasons I've stated before as to why you should type your report on your own computer befor you put it into the TRM.

Kim I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how to "paste & copy. Plus, as I said before, I don't have Word on this laptop. Can you suggest what software I should purchase?

Ginger

If you use windows, you should have some type of text editor, word pad or something like that. Copy and paste is easy, highlight the area you wish to coy and use control c to copy and control v to paste.

If you are on a mac, use the aplle icon button with c and the apple button with v for copy and paste. And the text editor is textedit.app so if you can't find it eaasily, look in your applications folder.

Hope this helps.

Well, Word is a good start but expensive; Works we'll work for your purposes too.

In the trip report manager, after you've typed a page, click Alt-E, then click A - that should hightlight all the text. Next click Ctrl-C, that should copy the text. In your e-mail editor, click Ctrl-V that should paste the text. Practice a bit; it's not difficult.
