i need to sign a message and having difficulty- maybe some kind person could refresh my memory
the address i want to sign a message from is in my watching only wallet (1.9.6)- and when i right click there is no 'sign message ' in the context menu. the offline wallet has this option but the address is not listed . How do i proceed? do i need to get the address into the offline wallet? and how do i do that?

Thanks a lot

You will need to use the offline wallet because that has the private keys. You will need to coax it to generate the addresses you need. See this post for info on how to do that:

thanks
figured the easiest way for just put the offline pc online to sync up the wallet for 10 secs and the disconnect again- hey presto!
