Have you ever opened an email that you want to send to someone else and it has been sent back and forth enough that it has all of these little arrows in front of the text message?

Now you want to send it along without those annoying arrows?

Well here is one way to do it.

You are going to copy and paste your email into notepad. Notepad because your email software usually does not have a replace function. For those of you who do not know how or forgot how to copy and paste you can review copy and paste here.

You will find notepad at:

Start ... programs ... accessories ... notepad:

Now what you do with your copy in notepad you will simply highlight the first little set of arrows in your text.

Notice the space between the last arrow was also selected. You will then go to edit and replace when you click replace a little window will pop open.

You will place your cursor inside the "find what" space and hit control (key) + V (key) ... this is the paste function on your keyboard. and you will see the little copied arrows pasted into your find. You will leave the "replace with" section blank because you want to get rid of all of the little arrows in your document. Then click the "replace all" button and magically all of that pattern of little arrows are gone.

Your little replace all window will remain open as long as you have not closed it so simply copy and paste into the window the next set of arrows you want to replace and when done then close the window.

Notice that only the first 2 lines of your text have been corrected. Why? because the pattern of arrows was different in the other lines.

You have 2 more patterns to repeat the process with before your copy is clean.

For those of you interested in the little joke sent to me. It is below to enjoy :)

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL:

Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
