How do I keep a copy?

Question

I just tried to ask this question in the Yahoo Products>Answers section but it went to Preview and would go
no farther, so I will ask it here.

When I receive a "message from another user" and I answer it...how do I keep a copy of what I answered???

Answer 1

I dont think you can copy and paste from that page. I would type out in notepad first then do copy and paste.

Answer 2

I don't know where you want to put what you want to keep, but where ever you want to put it all you have to do is put your pointer to the last part of what you want to copy, left click and hold, while holding down the left button on your mouse, "slide" it over what you are wanting to copy. As you are doing this, what you are going to copy will turn blue. Then once you have everything in blue that you want to copy, (make sure that the pointer is still in the blue area) let go of the left button and then right click. You should see a box come up that will allow you to copy and some more options. Left click on copy. Then go to where it is that you want to keep what you are copying. Then left click to "lock" in the spot, then right click and the same box will come back up again, look for paste and left click on that. There you have what you wanted to copy in a safe place. I have done this several times in the past. If you have any problems or don't understand all of this, you can email me and I will try to help you out more. It may sound hard to do it, but it is really very easy. Heck if I can do it any body can, lol.

Answer 3

Whenever I want to keep a question or an answer for further referrence I copy and paste. I go to my yahoo mail and click on *compose* as if I were going to email someone. Then I paste it and type in the subject what it is about and then I save it as a Draft. I have a lot of stuff saved as drafts including a resume that I copied from an online resume maker and pasted. Whenever I need it I copy and paste to send out.

Answer 4

As far as saving a copy (such as you could do in regular email), I don't think it can be done. I've never seen options regarding setups or saving files/copies for Yahoo! Answers.

An alternative would be to take a screen shot, which is to capture the image on the screen. When that is captured, it could be saved as a file (a picture), and that would be a copy of exactly what was on your screen when you used the capture function. I'm attaching the steps for creating screen shots. Or, as others have suggested, typing the message and copying & pasting also works.

Answer 5

the best component to do is stop worrying. you will never agree which you're copying her, she'll never agree that she's copying you. Who frickin' cares?! that is only footwear, outfits, rings, and the type you setup your execs! What you purchase is attainable for the final public to additionally purchase. no longer anybody is copying you. You and your chum have the comparable hobbies, persist with the comparable traits, study the comparable magazines, pay attention to the comparable music, and probable watch the comparable shows on MTV, so is it a ask your self which you have a number of the comparable footwear, outfits, rings, etc? i think of it would be a larger contemplate whether you probably did no longer have the comparable cloth wardrobe.

Answer 6

I copy and paste the old question into the new page that I am answering on. If I know the persons real email address, I create an entirely new email that doesn't leave off the last question or answer. I don't know why they do that!

Answer 7

You should be able to "right" click the mouse button...then it will give you the option of "save as" and then you can pick a place, like pictures or folders or desktop or mail.. Hope that works, as I'm not sure whether you mean regular mail from Yahoo, which will be in your sent box or Y.A. mail, which might not be.. Also the person who said save in favorites has a good idea too.

Answer 8

You can email the whole thing to yourself. Thats what I do when I want a copy of a question and the answers. I dont know if this is what you mean but I hope it helps.
The email button is near the report button under the question.

Answer 9

I wish I knew, I cant remember half the time IF I answered, never mind what I said, I am sure I repeat myself endlessly when I am talking to people - it really is annoying - the only other way is to just use their address in regular email I guess then you have copies of sent email

Answer 10

Ditto what LadyG said - I end up with a copy in my Sent box of my email at Yahoo
