How do I copy this form into a new post, it is clear my initial post did not have enough information.

Wicklow23 I'm glad you found this thread, I'm not good on technology, but if you click on Brendan's post at the bottom, the quote button it will copy and paste the details into a new post and you can go into that and fill in the data. Take your time, the more detail the better.

Just adding to Bronte's post when you click the qoute and edit it accordingly with your figures, simply remove the [/QUOTE] athe the end and the

at the start and it should work.
Another way is to select within Brendans post above with your mouse and do Ctrl A. Then hit Post Reply outside and do Ctrl V to copy it in. The Ctrl and the V key need to be pressed at the same time.
You may also want to try the above and copy it to a word doc and do all your work there and save it locally. When finished in Word do Ctrl A, Ctrl C and then hit Post reply and Ctrl V in the message area.
