just an idea for people, but i am copying comments, hints and photos of items such as the cannon and anchor, and pasteing them into a word document, that way as i am makeing them i have a quick reference rather than trying to search through the whole forum for bits and bobs, i have found it quite handy so thought others might like to try it

If you want to save Capt Stedders hints and tips have a look at: Capt Stedders Hints and Tips in PDF

If you have Microsoft Office 2007 you can save your Word files directly to PDF for a more convenient format when storing information from the forum.

Cheers

All I've been doing is going to the start of the subject you want to copy & paste and left click and hold while scrolling down to the very end of what your copying, this will highlight all the text and pictures. Release the left button and then move cursor over highlighted text, not picture, and right click. Select the option copy. Then open a blank word document, on the blank page right click again and select paste.

This should then transfer all the highlighted text and piccies to your word document.......hopefully anyway BigGrin
