How does one include quotes from text in crit?

Hi, still finding my way around here.

I've done a little bit of looking on the children's critiquing site. But, I can't figure out how to make parts of the text appear shaded in my response without copying and pasting from the original posting.

I've tried clicking the "quote text" box on the quick reply window, but no text shows up. What am I doing wrong?

Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
