Hey!

Then I go back to the first copy of the post and delete the parts that I don't want to respond to just yet, leaving only the part that I do want to respond to, taking care not to delete the "quote" markers. I write my reply to that part of the person's post, and then I proceed to the second copy of the post. I delete the parts I don't want to respond to, leaving only the part I do want to respond to. I repeat the process for as many separate replies as needed.

It looks like it worked!

Thank you so much! For some reason ctrl-C/ctrl-V wasn't working for me for so long...
I appreciate the help!
