Help for Granny Please!!!
Have new computer with business vista.
I can see the link to Acer grid vista, but no help page.
Can I use this to show two windows alongside each other so that I can edit one to the other??
If so how?
Or is this for use with a second monitor only??

From what I read here it is for one monitor. There seems to be little more help on the web - so why don't you just try it out.

Ah! Thanks, will now try experimenting.
How did you get the link to show by typing here in blue?

Ya, the link button is a lot easier. Since the Geek made it available, I use it. Just click "Link" > paste your URL > OK > type the word(s) you want to use for the link > OK and you are done.

OK, let's take it again step by step:
1. Left click on the link that you want to post. That will highlight it in blue.
2. Right click on the blue link and click COPY
3. Go to your REPLY box and set the cursor to where you want the link to appear, then click LINK. A little window will open.
4. Position your cursor on the address line where it says http:// in blue, right click, then click PASTE
5. Hit OK in the little box
6. Now you type the word(s) with which you want to name the link (e.g. like I did above using "here").
7. Click OK
8. Now you get a lot of mambo - jumbo in your link - just continue typing after it.
