Problem with IE 7
My IT guy recently upgraded me to IE7 - I was happy with IE6, but I guess he knows better. I'm
getting used to it, but I just found that if I want to highlight the URL of a site and then copy
it to send to somebody, I can't do it. As soon as I click the "Edit" button, the highlight disappears, and the "Copy" and "Cut" options on the Edit button are grey.

Does anybody know how to post a URL from IE7?

1. It's quicker and easier to use keyboard shortcuts.
Highlight the URL, then press CTRL-C. Go to the e-mail you are composing, put the cursor where you want the link to appear, and press CTRL-V.

2. Right-click on the link
In IE 7 you can copy a web address by right clicking on it with the mouse and then click "copy."

Then, right click the place you want to insert the copied link and click "paste."

3. Thanks to both of you - I'll try both methods.
I kinda miss my old IE6 ...
