Hi Nell. To delete part of a message, first highlight the text. This is done by putting the mouse pointer at the beginning of the text you want to select, then, while holding down the left mouse button, drag the pointer to the end of the text. When you release the button, the text will be "highlighted" in color. Then hit the Delete key on your keyboard. You also use this same technique to copy, paste, or cut. Once the text is highlighted, hold down the Ctrl key and hit the "C" key to copy the text to the Windows clipboard. To put the text somewhere else in a message, or in a different message, place the cursor where you want the text, hold down the Ctrl key and hit "V". The text that was on the clipboard will now appear where you wanted it. Holding down the Ctrl key and hitting "X" will both delete the highlighted text and copy it to the clipboard. If you want to highlight an entire message, hold down the Ctrl key and hit "A". This gets headers and all. To highlight all the body of a message, put the cursor at the beginning of the body text, hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys at the same time and hit the "End" key. To highlight just one line, put the cursor at the beginning of the line, hold down the Shift key and hit "End". Hope this helps, SgtGeorge Listowner At 10:27 PM 9/2/98 -0500, Nell Thomason wrote: >I do not know how to delete part of the message. I am one of the >messer-upers and I am sorry. nell
