Quick question

[familystone]

Ok I have been reading this forum for a while now but at the risk of sounding like a complete forum noobie:
I have yet to find out what IMHO means.

I see people saying it all the time but . .. what does it mean?

 

[Kaleigh]

In my honest opinion IMHO
In my humble opinion

 

[diamondfan]

not to be confused with the similar jmho, which is just my humble opinion...

while we are on the topic of questions, I know how to QUOTE an entire post but cannot figure out how to highlight within the post!!!

 

[familystone]

Diamondfan, I just had to try that out myself, lol! Quote the comment as usual, then double right click in the box. "Highlight" the sentence(s) you want with your cursor, then go up to the highlight symbol (says "ab" with a paintbrush symbol in the toolbox provided by PS) It will highlight what you''ve already highlighted with your cursor.

 

[diamondfan]

thanks, I thought I had done it but it did weird things seemingly by itself and would not highlight! I will venture forth again...

to highlight:

1. double click on the blue quote box. (a \\\\\ border should appear around the blue box indicating it is now ready for editing.)
2. move your cursor to the beginning of where you want to highlight.
3. click and hold, then scroll over as much of the sentence you want highlighted. the part you just ''highlighted'' will have a ''black'' background.
4. click on the button above the reply toolbar that looks like a yellow highlighter pen with the letters ''ab''
once you click the highlighter button, your text will highlight. (you can check to see if it worked by ''clicking'' somewhere else to move the cursor off of the highlighted sentence)
to change colors, click on the little ''down'' arrow right beside the box and a color palette will pop up.
to remove parts of a quote from the quote box:
this is REALLY helpful for long quotes or those totally confusing quotes of quotes of quotes

1. double click on the blue quote box as above.
2. move your cursor to the area you want removed. scroll over as much of the quote as you want removed. once the area you want removed is ''highlighted'' use the ''delete'' key on your keyboard to remove it.
if you want to ''cut'' more of the quote, hit the ''quote'' button again. the entire quote will appear again and you can follow the same steps to edit more.

Thanks monarch, I had no clue how to do that until now. Watch out I''ll be a highlighting fool!! LOL!!

 

[Kaleigh]

OH MY GOD I DID IT!!! Hooray for me...Belle, I was just using your avatar (very Midsummer Night''s Dream nymphlike or Goddess like to me!) If Mt Olympus existed today, there would be a Muse or Goddess of Tech I would think!

Kaleigh, come over for a tutorial!! I am a pro now haha that was hopefully not my first last and only highlight!

 

[diamondfan]

ALSO

How do you type in colors??? I can change fonts but I cannot find the colors! I just found it but how do I see all the colors???

 

[decodelighted]

Hmmmm. I''m on a mac & I don''t see a "highlighting" thingie or how to change fonts or colors.

I feel SO left OUT!

. At least I have "smileys"

What''s OTOH - is it ''on the other hand''? That one always stumps me.

 

[diamondfan]

Makes sense to me that OTOH is on the other hand...I never knew what LOL was for the longest time, and was too embarassed to ask! Finally one of my kids told me...

Kids sure come in handy sometimes

Mine had to show me how to turn the computer off and on.

And they know all the lingo.

 

[diamondfan]

I know! My kids know things that did not exist for us as kids, pc''s, cell phones, sidekicks, ipods, downloading, etc...too funny!
