How do I copy an email link and paste it into my email?

Just got a hand-me-down MacBook Pro. I need to send an email to someone who's posted an ad on Craigslist. How do I, a) copy the link for their email; and, b) paste it into the address field of my Outlook mail?
If I just click on the email link in CL, the computer wants to direct me to some default email client, which I'm not using. So I want to copy and paste the address.
Thanks.

Care to share which OS you are using?
From the OS Help menu:
Copy from one document to another
Open both documents, select the text, picture, or movie you want to copy, and then drag it to the other document.
If you can’t drag an item from a document window, select the item and choose Edit > Copy. Then click in the other document window and choose Edit > Paste.

  • How can I copy information from Excel and Paste it into a fillable field?

    I have a job site quote fillable packet that I go through when quoting a new job. I also have a fullly detailed excel sheet with all sorts of pricing and data. When I am done filling out the excel sheet, the numbers all compile into a new area that is broken down by phases of the project.
    On the last page of the fillable packet I have an estimate page, a spot where I can input the pricing for each phase of the project, each individual field (there are six) then totals into a fillable field on the bottom of the page.
    Currently I have to select the 6 consecutive cells in excel, open up my PDF, paste the information in a text box, then manually type in each line item.
    Is there a way for me to create a field that I could paste excel sheet data in? Is there a table or some way to paste each cell into one of six text fields?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    All that should be necessary is to open the ebook, highlight what you wish to copy with the cursor (hold left click, and drag to the end of the section you wish), then either right click and choose copy OR command + c on your keyboard, then move the cursor to the desired section of your Word document, and either right click and choose paste OR command + V to paste the selection.

  • When I copy an email message and paste it into a document, the font turns into all symbols.  What's the problem here?

    When I copy an email message and paste it into a document, the font becomes all symbols. What is wrong?

    To use images from the media browser, you must generate previews of the images first. It sounds like the "automatically generate previews for every new project" is turned off under Aperture >Preferences>Previews. To generate a preview for a photo to use in the media browser, right click it and select "update preview". The quality of the preview photo is determined by the settings in the Previews tab found under the Aperture>Preferences menu.

  • How can I copy text from Pages and paste as Unicode?

    I notice that if I write a Pages document on my iMac (this is Pages 09 running under OSX Mavericks 10.9.1) and copy text that contains characters from the "Mac Roman" character set (like the Greek letter pi for example, and some other mathematical symbols), if I paste it into a text file on a PC (I'm running the Mac with Windows via Parallels), then these characters don't show up correctly. If they were copied as Unicode characters then I don't think the problem would exist. I thought that Pages used Unicode, but it doesn't apparently apply to stuff that gets onto the Mac clipboard. I do know that if I export a whole Pages document it is possible for it to be exported in Unicode, but I just want to copy small bits of text like mathematical formulae and paste them into Unicode-compliant applications. Is this possible? There's nothing in the Pages Preferences to suggest that it is. Is there any solution to this?
    TIA

    Tom, I'm sorry I think I have wasted your time. My initial experiments seemed to show that what I was trying to do didn't work, but now it all seems to work. No idea why. I think there is a problem somewhere, but not where I thought it was. I think what may be happening is that when the Mac clipboard sees some Mac Roman text, it converts and stores it in Unicode form, so things work as long as the receiving app is Unicode aware - or Parallels is doing the job for me, or Pages is. Good if this is true. The only issue then would be that, if a program for the PC is looking for characters by their encodings, it will have to use the Unicode ones to find things, whereas the equivalent code on a Mac will have to look for the Mac Roman encodings as well as Unicode.
    Just to explain, I am not using a specialised mathematical formula editor, but I do expect my user to use the math symbols easily accessible on the Mac keyboard, particularly the Greek letter pi (lower case), division sign, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, square root. The user can type text directly or paste it in from another application. On the PC side I am not using Microsoft Word but a program I'm developing that can create fields into which I can put text, similar I suppose to NotePad. Just to be able to be cross-platform, I expect users to use the built-in Windows Character Viewer or similar to make the same symbols accessible as in the Mac version.
    If everyone was using Unicode the problem (if there is one) wouldn't exist.
    I may well come back with a similar issue in the future, but my original issue, although the description was given in good faith, seems to be wrong. So I'm saying the problem is solved.

  • Can you NOT copy an Amerture image and paste it into keynote?

    I'm able to highlight an image in iPhoto, copy it, and paste it into another Mac app like keynote no problem. But my trial version of Aperture doesn't allow me to do that. How come?
    Yes, I should be able to drag the image into a Mac app, but often they get out of sync and the recent image I've imported into iphoto is not available for dragging. So I just copy and paste it.
    But what's up with Aperture in this area?

    To use images from the media browser, you must generate previews of the images first. It sounds like the "automatically generate previews for every new project" is turned off under Aperture >Preferences>Previews. To generate a preview for a photo to use in the media browser, right click it and select "update preview".

  • How can I copy a web image and paste into iMessages?

    I have recently purchased a new iPhone that uses the iOS7.  Previously, I was able to copy images from the web and paste into iMessages.  When I try this now, all that is pasted is the link.  Is there a way around this?

    When I tap and hold the image, I don't see an option to "Save" it.  I get the following options:
    Open, Open in New Page, Add to Reading Lisa, and Copy.  When I choose "copy and then go to paste it, it just pastes the web link as you mentioned.  Am I missing something?
    (Thanks for your response, by the way)!

  • How do I copy image from web and paste into Open Office Document

    Whenever I choose Copy Image from Safari and then paste into open office, I only get the image url and not the image. I am sure that I am not selecting Copy Image Address.
    When I copy images from my iTunes album artwork and paste into open office it works fine.
    Any thoughts?

    I have done the same thing using Firefox and it works just fine. It seems to be an issue with Safari.

  • How come I can't copy content in Firefox and paste it into Word and it keep it's formatting?

    When I copy content off a web page in Firefox and paste it in Microsoft Word, I lose the original formatting. It works fine in IE but I'm wanting to eliminate IE but I can't at this time because of this problem....

    That is a problem with the clipboard. Firefox now places more formats on the clipboard and some software selects the wrong format.

  • Why can't I copy a Url address anymore and paste it into an email or somewhere else ?

    I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and I can no longer highlite and copy any URL address so that I can paste them somewhere. This is not good as I often will want to copy and paste a Url address and now I can't. This is not progress to me at all . No where was this covered in any of your many topics that you have to scroll thru in Help pages , so please advise. Thank you

    I have downloaded the Theme Penguin 3.9.7 as that is the background I had used in the older version of firefox and now it doesn't look anything like what it used to be ...at all... or for that matter what is shows what it is in the choices of the themes.. If I disable it , then I can highlite and copy a Url address but not if I have it enabled. I also can't even type in a URL address into the address bar at all. So does this mean I can't use a theme and have to just stay with the regular firefox theme? It will let me copy a URL but only if I use that theme.

  • I no longer see the URL of any website so can't copy and past URLs into any emails, etc. Is there some setting to make URLs visible? when I updated, the URLs disappeared. I'm on a MacBook.

    When I updated to the latest version of Firefox, the URLs disappeared so they are no longer visible at the top of the Firefox page. I can enter sites, but I can't copy and past the URLs anymore. Why can't I see the http://... info anymore? Is there some setting I changed or what might be the problem?
    thanks.

  • How can I create a slide show and insert it into an email

    I created a slide show of some pictures I want to share with my sales associate but can't seem to figure out how to Email it.  any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    You will need to export it as a  QuickTime movie and share that.
    That said, movies are big files and many recipients will be less than delighted to get large attachments that can cause them problems in their mailboxes. Better to upload the movie somewhere and then email them a link. Dropbox is an excellent way to do this.]

  • How to copy my Firefox bookmarks and paste them into another computer?

    OK. I found an answer in a thread here but it is already closed. I have an additional question. The moderator said there:
    Quoting:
    Depending on what you want to do there are a couple of options.
    If you want to replace the bookmarks on the other computer with the bookmarks from your desktop, use the method in this link to backup the bookmarks to a file and then restore them on the other computer - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
    If you want to add the bookmarks from the desktop to those that already exist on the other computer, you need to export them to an HTML file, and import that file on the other computer. See these links for details:
    https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Exporting+bookmarks+to+an+HTML+file
    https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Importing+Bookmarks+from+an+HTML+File
    I want to do the second one - "add the bookmarks from the desktop to those that already exist on the other computer"
    The problem is that my Firefox is version 4.0. I read somewhere in the bookmarks topics that I should have done nothing before upgrading to version higher than 12.
    The thing is my computer is 8 years old and I have only 512 MB RAM. There is no way to upgrade more that v.4.0. My computer can not handle it.
    Any suggestions? Can I export and import with v.4.0 safely?

    You would have to export the bookmarks to an HTML file on the old (XP) computer.
    *Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML
    Then you can copy this file to an USB stick and import this file in Firefox on the other computer.<br />
    Importing an HTML backup will merge those bookmarks with already existing bookmarks.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Open Directory)

  • How can I copy multiple text clips and paste them separetly?

    Vista OS

    The "clipboard" is a Vista function, not a Firefox support issue. I don't use Vista and with WinXP I use an external program called Clip Trakker to save multiple clipboard entries for later recall. Try this forum for help: <br />
