Thank you for answering my various emails and questions--it's a relief knowing someone's out there ready to help. **Question 1** Browser: I'm a Mac user, and I currently use Netscape 7.2 as my browser, which worked well for WebCT and works nicely for GroupWise email, too. However, I see that Firefox is the recommended browser for Moodle, so I plan to download that later today. I have been having some weird problems with my browser crashing repeatedly while I am working on Moodle. I assume this is probably browser-related. **Question 2** Cutting and Pasting in Moodle's Compose/Editing Windows: The Cutting and Pasting features that come with Moodle's HTML editor, as well as my browser's editing features (except "Copy"), are not working for me in Moodle. This is a scary situation for me, since I do a lot of on-site text editing when I am writing documents in my online classes. I am hoping that when I get Firefox, I will be able to follow the commands to "enable" the cutting and pasting features. (The commands don't seem to apply very well to Mac users, though.) Can you confirm that this is the case and that I will eventually be able to "cut" and "paste" in my in-Moodle editing? **Question 3** When I compose texts using the Moodle HTML editor for my "Profile" and other text areas in Moodle, the line breaks often get screwed up, with short lines intermixed with long ones. Is this normal? If so, is there anything I can do to prevent it? **Question 4** Moodle "Announcements" area: According to my notes from our one-on-one "Moodle meeting" spring term, when I compose a message in the "Announcements" forum, it goes directly to students' personal email accounts. Is this really true? In other words: I wrote a message in the "Announcements" area yesterday. Does this mean this message will show up in students' personal email accounts as soon as their names get added into the registration list for the class? (I don't think I really want that to happen . . . ) A great big, in-advance thank you for your help with these questions. Sincerely, Jennifer Jennifer M.
