Just like i did here by erasing the stuff around except the line you want to keep in the Quote sectionOriginally Posted by ZMAN
Sorry for the dumb question, but I would like to know how to quote a specific line in a posting. When I hit the Quote button I get the whole posting.
I tried highlighting the line I want to quote then hit the quote button and I get the whole thing.
I know it isn't a system problem. I just don't know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Like Blaze says - just highlight and erase to leave the quote you want behind.

in order to break it up in sections?I know it isn't a system problem. I just don't know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Okay, assuming this is what you are looking to do.
Remove the bottom quote notation or cut it and put it at the end of the first statement you want to address (note, the first statement should start with the existing beginning quotation, but not absolutely necessary). Then right your response. Take the next statement you want and highlight it and then hit the quotation button, followed by your response or comment.
I know it is not the best instructions, but read it through and work with it.
I sometimes open a second window of the same post and cut the sections I want to address and paste them into the first window and then use the highlight and click quote button.

Thanks guys. In the past I have just deleted the portion of the post that I didn't need. I though there must be a more efficient way of doing this. Back in the 60s, I graduated in Computer Science/Accounting, and went into the accounting field. Wouldn't it be nice if we could highlight the area to quote then hit the quote button only getting what we wanted to quote, or even put quotation marks around the portion we wanted to quote.

What I just did was to hit the "reply" button, then I scrolled down to your previous post - highlighted the text I wanted to quote - hit "copy" - then went up into my post composition window and hit the little "quote" icon - then pasted the cut text between the quotes.In the past I have just deleted the portion of the post that I didn't need.
That's kind of weird thing to do because it will mess up your computer. Don't ask how I know.OR use your lightsabre to cut away the supurflous verbage.

Since my lightsabre's dilythium crystals are low I will probably just delete the unwanted verbage. Thanks for the replies guys.
