Copy from another (eg airline) web site to FT post using snipping tool - 1 step?
On the AC forum, I started a thread - re: the promotion regarding AC signature class fares.
Here is the link to the promotion
https://www.aircanada.com/en-ca/prem...nerdotcom|caen
I was try to get a screen shot using the snipping tool (of part of the screen in the promotion above) - and then copy it as a post on the AC thread
Nothing happened.
Can one use the snipping tool to get a screen shot copied in 1 step to FT.
PS-I had to get my wife to use her cell phone - take a photo - email to my email address, and then upload the file to my computer - and then download it to the thread ; which was several steps. I thought the snipping tool was a process where only one step can be used to copy/screen shot directly to a FT post.

The snip tool's "cut/copy" can be a little bumpy in terms of interacting with the text editor here. I regularly copy/paste press releases for our sales team on another site and sometimes every image in a PR is replaced by the first image.

For those (few) people like me who do not use a cell (mobile) phone, what is the process?
To put it another way, how do I copy from a laptop or a PC directly to FT using the snipping tool?

Which operating system are you using? I use the Snip & Sketch app on my Windows 10 machine.

To upload I select Manage Attachments, From Device, (select file name) then Upload. Not as direct as it could be, but it works.
