    I wanted to highlight a portion of a page but it wouldn't work. I know it works because I tried it on another page. Why is this and can I do something to make it work???

    windows xp pro. I never had this happen before. It's not a big deal but I couldn 't figure why I could not highlight anything on that page. I just tried it again and still can't. Yet if I go to another page I can.

    What method were you using? I find that right click does not work on that web page. I believe this is due to the way the web site was designed; the developer may have intended to block copying by high lighting text and right clicking. However, I was able to high light text and then use Ctrl/C to copy to the clipboard.

    Okay, I guess it was my problem then. Thanks
