How do you post other's quotes?

Curious, how do I go about highlighting someone else's quotes to place in my post? Thanks, in advance.

(1) You can click on the "Quote" in the upper right corner of the person's post and it sets you up automatically.

(2) On the page where you write your post (the one with all the smileys,etc), click on the little icon that looks like a "page". It's below the Font Size box. (If you hover your cursor over any of these icons an explanation word will appear.)
This will open two Quote words. You can then "copy" something by highlighting the words, right clicking, and selecting "Copy". Then right click, with the cursor between the previously mentioned Quote words, and select "Paste" this time.
Technique (2) is handy for quoting something from another site,etc.

Example copy/pasted from Tnet Forum home page:

We've only scratched the surface of what is still waiting to be discovered in our oceans and lakes. Billions are just sitting there waiting to be discovered. Use the Shipwreck Forum to discuss wrecks and other underwater treasures, and the technologies used to recover them. This is the original Shipwreck Forum!

You should "Preview" your post, to make sure it's what you want it to look like.
