Copying on to a post
« on: Monday 19 November 07 23:16 GMT (UK) »
Twice recently I have tried putting something I've copied in a post but it will not let me. It keeps popping up and saying that it must be my own work, It is my own work, what do I do ????

Hi Duck
You can't paste into the county boards......but you can paste into other boards.....just use Control C to copy and Control V to paste.
Cheers

You can also use the copy and paste functions on the "edit" menu

The copy and paste function on edit menu wouldn't work, a pop-up kept saying it must be my own work

Simon,  I get that message if I right-click on the mouse to access the edit menu, but never have a problem if I access the edit menu via the Edit button on the toolbar.

Same here ... however, if you "paste" - by whatever means - before closing the "Copyright" window, the operation is successful.
