If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
How can I fix this ???
Ron
PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

  • Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
    You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine.  You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
    That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
    You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
    You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

  • How do I display, copy, and paste a web address from an open Safari window please?

    I'm new to Mac and Safari. 
    I'm used to being able to just cut and paste a web address from a page I'm on into a discussion, but I don't see an address bar to copy from.
    I'm sure it is there somewhere, which toolbar or keyboard shortcut am I missing, please?
    Gordon_M

    Hello:
    While Safari is open, go to the menu bar>view.  Select "customize toolbar."  You may use the default, or customize it to yoru liking.
    Then when you wish to copy an address, you simply click on the favicon and go to edit>copy.

  • Copying and pasting e-mail addresses from excel

    I have always copied and pasted e-mail addresses from an excel file into the "to" field on the e-mail. This has always worked fine. Now for some reason, if there is a blank row on the excel field between e-mail addresses, when copying over it is now adding commas to the e-mail addresses meaning that the address fails. Something must have changed in my settings but I do not know where. Appreciate any help please

    Just to add some info, it works just as bad if you copy from your own address-book. If there is a missing line it will show up as an extra comma and the recipient after that comma will fail.

  • I send them to 50-200 people. Can I copy and paste their email addresses from a previously sent message?

    l

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks but that is not what i need. In my scenario i literally just need to copy all 200 email addresses from a previously sent file and paste them into the box saying "enter recipient email addresses" so that i can send the exact same people a new file. Without this feature this program is virtually useless to me now. Typing them in one at a time or choosing them one at a time from a list is not an option - i will only do this when i send out the first round of files and then i should be able to copy and past the email addresses to send out any added files that every person on the list will need. I just need to select, copy, paste, done. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Is it possible to keep the outline auto formatting from Pages when copying and pasting that outline to the Presenter Notes on Keynote?

    I have been using my iPad for my notes, but I want to start using it as a remote for my macbook. When I copy and paste the notes into the Presenter Notes section of Keynote on the macbook, it unformatted. Any bullet point formatting that I do on my macbook is not showing on my iPad's Remote view Presenter Notes. Is there a way to create consistency here that does not involved formatting each one separately?

    Use Drag and Drop
    Have both applications open side by side
    select the text in Pages
    with the mouse drag the text from pages into presenter Notes pane in Keynote

  • When playing flash player based browser games I cannot copy and paste HTML , had no problems doing this with explorer

    I play a browser game, and some times we post battle out results in html in the chat section, where we copy and paste them into a new browser window to view them, this is not possible since I switched to Firefox

  • I have Windows 8. The address bar does not show on firefox. How do I fix this?

    The address bar does not show. How do I get it to appear?

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear. Make sure that you have the Navigation Toolbar and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
    * If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

  • How to cut and paste a web address

    When I copy web addresses into documents they do not come up as a link. I do I create a link in a document or e-mail

    Open the program to create a new message. When the program
    is ready, go to the toolbar and look around to all the options/chooses.
    '''IF''' the program supports the option, you may find it called something
    like ''''''Inert Link''''''. Be sure to '''read the help menu''' about using it.
    If the program does not look like it supports this, just type the link
    normally and the reader can copy / paste it themselves.
    Remember to start the link with '''''WWW.''''' + a period,
    then the address.

  • How can I get Firefox to include the http when copying and pasting from the address bar?

    I know you can use "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" in about:config to re-enable the display of "http://" on URLs in the address bar, but I think there's an actual bug with hiding them in the address bar that should be corrected:
    When I click and drag in the address bar to select part of an address, including the beginning of the address, then use CTRL+C to copy it, and CTRL+V to paste it into something else, the pasted URL does not include "http://"; this is often inconvenient and will break in certain forms and so on.
    In Chrome--where I guess the http-hiding feature was copied from--if you click and drag to select part of the URL including the beginning, then copy, when you paste, the "http://," hidden in their address bar, *is* included. That's how it *should* work. Firefox's implementation is incomplete and frustrating.

    This is a known problem and should be fixed in Firefox 8.<br>

  • Copying and Pasting E-Mail addresses from Mail To, From, CC Fields

    In previous versions of Mail, you could copy an e-mail address from the To, From, or CC fields and past it into a document. In Mail 4.0 (mad 4.1), when you do this, the address shows up just as it appears in the field from which it was copied.
    Here's an example. First, the address as it appears in the From field:
    (1) John Smith <[email protected]>
    Earlier versions of Mail would allow you to select this address, copy it and paste it as
    (2) [email protected]
    Now, however, you get the whole thing as in (1), a real nuisance if all you want is the e-mail address itself. Two questions. First, rhetorically, why would anyone want to make this change? Second, is there any way to persuade Mail to revert to its earlier behavior?

  • Why won't Mac Mail let you copy and paste a email address?

    I have mail 5.2 and was just wondering why doesn't it let you paste using the track pad to paste e-mail address into the field for To and Cc for, when i click on the track pad like you would normally do it doesn't come up with anything? It lets you paste only into the subject line and nothing else, using cmd v however works. Is this like it for everyone's mail? Or does mine have a problem? Thank you.

    Pressed "Rebuild" and nothing happened.
    Did you have that account highlighted?
    Well, don't know much about Mail in 10.7, but here's my 10.4/10.5 notes...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Why do 100 plus tabs open upon me cut and pasting a web address I desire to go to

    I cut and paste a desire website to go to so I would not have to type it in and soon as I click enter the tabs take off opening tab after tab up into the hundreds and I can't stop it. I have uninstalled reinstall Fire fox several times trying to get away from IE but I have never seen anything like this. What do I do. Oh yes did a history clean cash etc. Tkanks

    You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.

  • No longer able to copy and paste bullet format from slide to notes

    In the prior version of Keynote, I could copy a bulleted outline from my slide to my notes, and it would appear in the same format.  I can no longer get an automatic bulleted format for my notes.  Any way to manage this?

    kimluellen,
    That is very odd that it does not give you the option to copy the text when you tap or long hold on the word. Does this happen in all websites or just some? When you are in a text message or email does it still let you tap or the work and copy the text?
