I'm probably not using the correct terminology for what I do. I too use the IMG SRC tags, as part of creating a variety of the fund-raising posts that I use on the FReepathon. I incorporated that into info that includes the donation link, and then saved those kinds of creations in my documents folder for later repeated use. All I had to do was copy and paste, without recreating the whole thing each time. I can't copy and paste those existing creations anymore. (Hope that makes a little bit of sense.)
define ‘creations’.
.doc file?
.docx file?
.jpg file?
What program did you use to create them? Microsoft Word?
Are you saying you cannot open the document where you stored the HTML?
Sound like you may need to switch to ‘administrator’ mode.
Both 10 and 11 seem to be quirky on what used to be (pre-10) simple tasks.
Since I am the only one who uses my computers (desktop and laptops), the first think I do in Windows is to turn off that UAC [User Account Control] because it typically won’t let me do much of anything.
Ah, I get what you're saying. Try this: Right click on each one of your text strings and choose "remove hyperlink."
I've run into issues with Word wanting to make HTML actual hotlinks instead of just the text.
If it is just text even with html embedded, there is no reason to save as an office file type. Save them as text. You can use notepad ++ if you want context type highlighting or just notepad. Sounds like they are doc extensions.
Yes, not I got it.
You saved all your image code and link code in a document, and whenever you needed them you opened up the document and copied the code, then pasted it into your FR posts.
As others have said, you may be able to get around this by changing your file associations.
If you made those files in plain text then you can open them with Word Pad.
If you originally made those documents in MS Word, then you’ll either have to pay for the Microsoft office Apps, or try to find a free alternative.
Someone here mentioned libre office as an alternative. It comes packaged with many Linux OS’s and I personally hate Libre office. I avoid using MS office in my personal life but I’ve had to use it quite a bit professionally.
If you want to find out if your old docs open up in wordpad, try right-clicking the document and choose “Open With”, then select “Choose another App”, and then selected Word Pad. If it works, then you can get away with associating that file with wordpad. To do that, you would right click the file and choose “Properties”. In the General tab, about 1/3 of the way down, you can click the button “Change” and choose wordpad. Be aware that once you do this, every document with that same extension will try to open with WordPad and some may fail if their formatting was meant for MS Word
