Actually, all four of these answers are incorrect.

If you want to re-post something containing both text and images, you have to copy and paste the underlying CODE that actually builds the post, not just the text and images.

3. Press <CNTRL-A> to highlight all the code in your post.
4. Press <CNTRL-C> to copy the code to the clipboard.
5. Start your new post.
6. Before you type anything, once again click on the CODE icon
   
7. Press <CNTRL-V> to paste the code into your new post.
8. Click OK.

You have now re-created your original post exactly the way you originally authored it. You can now edit it as you need to before you post it.
