[WEB4LIB] RE: question about pasting html into Dreamweaver 4

[David King]

I copied/pasted the link from IE into Dreamweaver. I copied by
highlighting the link, hitting ctrl/c for copy, and then went to
Dreamweaver and did paste (ctrl v). 

Worked just fine (although it still needed formatting).

Just curious -- how did you do this? I just tried dragging, copy
shortcut, copy/paste from IE and got either the url *or* the hyperlinked
text, but not both.
