Re: Note for Muddy

I don’t know what you mean .
I have a full box because I like the messages I have from my wise friends and I am loath to delete them .

Re: Note for Muddy

You could always copy and paste them into a separate text program, that way you could keep them for as long as you wish. My way is to do the reverse of that – create all text in another program (it has to be created once anyway) and then copy and paste into Messages, E-mails (even those old-fashioned items called letters, sent by 'snail mail') etc. and it takes but minutes.

Re: Note for Muddy

Baz thank you could you explain that in simple English for me .( I am not tech savvy )
Do you mean something like word ?

Re: Note for Muddy

That's probably the one – Word, I am not familiar with Windows as I use Apple Macs. However, all you need to do is create a file in Word called say, 'OFF Messages' and use that to create all text for use in OFF Messages, then copy and paste the text you created in Word from that into the OFF Messages window. The incoming message can also be copied and pasted into the 'OFF Messages' file. All you have to do with this is to type above it the date for reference, the same with any message you have created. You will then find you have a sequence of the text of incoming messages and your replies one above the other in that file. It may sound complicated but it's easy once you have become used to it.

You can do the same for e-mails etc., etc., as you wish. It's possible to create files say, for each month so making them easier to find if you wish to. These can be stored in Folders with the relevant titles. I've always done this as it's been necessary to have copies of everything, plus a back-up on an external drive. That's what an organised working life in the printing industry does!

Re: Note for Muddy

Thank you Baz I will give it a go .
Unfortunately I always have trouble with my computer ever since windows 10 ( I was ok up to then) I never know where to file anything or where it goes anymore .
Only yesterday I tried to save something and up pops a Microsoft account .

FGS I only want to save a darn document to my document file what is this .

Tears and bashing of teeth followed .

Re: Note for Muddy

It's just that that message appears often. It was just a joke, I was not having a go at you. No worries.
