How do you make a copy of an answer ?
I recently asked a ? here an got a really great answer. I want to know if there is a way to make a printed out copy of that answer so I will have it when ever I want to look back on it for any reason,or is there a way to save it somewhere or email it to myself? I see there is a way to email a ? to someone but not an answer and I see no where you can make a printed out copy. Am I missing the picture here or what? I am not very computer smart I am still learning an have lots more to learn. I'm sure there must be someone who knows how to do this.

Left click at the beginning of the answer text and hold down the button as you drag your cursor over the entire text (which will be highlighted in a dark blue color) then release the button.
Place your cursor over this blue text. Right click and select "copy."
Open your "note pad" on your computer.
Right click on the blank page & select "paste."
Now the answer text is in your "note pad."
In the left corner of your note pad, left click on "file" for the drop down menu & choose "save."
A box will open to ask "file name."
Call the file what you want. ("Answer 1" for example.)
Save it to a folder or your desk top.
This is the best way b/c if you save a link to the question, the question may be deleted later on & there is no way to retrieve an answer once Yahoo has deleted the question.
