How to copy and paste search results into this forum

[carl43m]

I have about 30 line items of files that I wanted to post for feedback . I
took a screenshot but I don't seem to be able to past it into a question that
I want to leave here. Is there some tip that would help me be able to copy
and paste the information from a files search into here without having to
type each line individually? Thanks.

MS newsgroups are all-ASCII i.e. text-only i.e. alphanumeric.
Screenshots are graphical (pictorial). In order to post data
from screenshots here you must either (1) type the text
directly from your keyboard or (2) use some sort of OCR
software to read text from the graphic image file.

Convert your screenshot into text that you can paste or use another
method instead of a screenshot.

The slow and quirky web interface you are using does not allow
attachments such as screenshot. A proper newsreader would, but
attachments are frowned upon by many.

You will get a far better experience of newsgroups if you use a proper
newsreader.

Upload your image to this (or a similar) site:

Then simply include the URL to the image in your next post.

What makes you say > MS newsgroups are all-ASCII i.e. text-only i.e.

I have often attached screen shots and have been able to see the screen
shots using Microsoft's Outlook Express. Do you have a link to a Microsoft
web site that discusses this limitation to msnews.microsoft.com?

It's by convention only, unless the word BINARY is is the group name,
you aren't supposed to attach files. It is up to the individual servers
to handle disabling the inclusion of said posts.
