Hi Arthur,
If you delete everything you don't want to quote that appears after the closing square bracket at the beginning of the post and the opening square bracket at the end of the post you wish to quote and leave only the part you wish to quote within those brackets, then you will only quote the part you want to quote.
If for instance you highlighted and deleted everything in your post that I have highlighted in BOLD letters, you would end up with a quote that looks like the one below.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
S'funny ... by some peculiar coincidence, I keep trying to HIGHLIGHT certain sections of other members' posts in order to answer ONLY the parts to which I think my reply is likely to be relevant [and, if I may say so, have attempted to do the same thing again with this one of yours]. Yet, after submitting my response, I invariably find the entire screed has been quoted ... which rather detracts from the point(s) I'm attempting to get across; whereas others here manage to "work wonders" with italics and so forth, I'm restricted to the use of block capitals for the purpose of emphasis, due to my limited knowledge of technology.
So, that said, I am probably not the best person to help out with your query.Quoting passages of script is, nonetheless, a useful tool for drawing attention to what has been written or, in this case, typed. I would, therefore, suggest you left-click your mouse' (holding it down for a few seconds and move it over the text to highlight [in blue] the words you want shown ... then immediately left-click on the word 'Quote' found in the bottom right-hand corner of the box containing the contributor's post.
As I mentioned, I'm no expert in such matters, but I do hope my advice [for what it's worth] will go some way towards clarifying matters.
Cheers,
Iain.
