Forum Tip: Easily quoting just one sentence of a previous post

You probably already know you can quote a previous post in your post by clicking the Quote button.

If you highlight a section of the previous post and then click the Quote button, only the highlighted portion is quoted. This is nice if you just want to quote one sentence or one section.

You can also do this repeatedly in the same post, for example to answer 2 separate questions by the previous poster.

Happy posting!
