Try this:
Click on FILE. (on the bar at the top of your screen)
Then click on EDIT (next to the file on top of your screen)Click on CUT.

Go back in into RFM
Go to the place on RFM that you want to insert the link. Make sure your cursor is where you want it to show up. Then click on PASTE.

Your link should magically appear. Practice this a few times.

I have an Macbook pro, and this system has worked for me. Hopefully it will also work for you. My computer literate kids had to show me how to do this.

Good luck. Practice, practice. This is a good place to do this, as I think most people will be patient, and helpful if you can't figure it out. There are people here who know more about computers than I will ever know.

Here's the PDF. This is fascinating.
http://www.kwtaxresolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/TAX-COURT-HOLDS-RULES-ON-TITHING-EXPENSE.pdf

"Taxpayer's arguments. Thompson essentially argued that his religious obligation to tithe trumped his obligation to pay delinquent taxes and penalties in a “reasonably prompt manner,” and that the settlement officer abused her discretion by classifying this expense as “conditional.” He claimed that, given his positions in the Church, tithing was required by the IRM to be treated as a necessary expense, and that classifying his tithing as conditional violated his rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of '93 (RFRA). He produced a letter from the Church which essentially stated that he would have to resign his positions with the Church if he stopped tithing."
