    i hav typed it in, do i need to unplug the ethernet cable from my modem or back of computer and pplug into laptop before posting the text
  • back of computer

    you could just open it in notepad, and type it in on the second pc, the only reason I said about connecting the ethernet cable is so you could copy and paste it, assuming you can get online with the ethernet cable attached.
