Mac users have more challenges signing up for our trips than PC users. They can't seem to readily "cut and paste" our booking template into a new post.

Can anyone help with some directions on how to select text, copy it and then paste it into a new post using a mac and an iphone? Thank you! kamala

Just as the MS Windows environment supports hotkeys such as control plus c (shown in most help pop ups as " <CTL> C " to indicate Control is pressed and held while press and release the C character to copy selected text) Mac has a similar set of hot keys. Instead of Control there is a designated Command (labeled CMD usually near the space bar) hot key that serves the same purpose. Mac users simply select the desired text, use " <CMD> C " to copy then in the target editor window type " <CMD> V " to paste.

See the attached image of a standard MacBook keyboard. Just to either side of the keyboard is the CMD key. The symbol on the same key is the actual Hot Key symbol, for instance in the Command drop down list of a Mac editor instead of CMD + C to designate a hot key combo for copy it will appear as the associated symbol on that key plus whatever the rest of the hot key combination calls for (again, C for copy, V for paste and there are many other such short cut functions available).

There are conventions for smartphone users for selecting text and edit options all associated with the touchpad interface, but it has been too long since I dabbled in the Dark Arts of Smartphone usage. :blink:

Hope This Helps,

Thanks Brad. We have a member trying to sign up for a trip so I will see if she understands as I do not have a mac product to test it on.

Hmm...have been using Mac/iphone since I got here. No problem.

On older Macs the Command key may still have an Apple on it.

For iphone,
double tap the beginning of section you want to copy and draw your finger till the end. Tap the selected region and select copy. Double tap where you want it and select paste.
