How To Copy and Paste
HOW TO COPY AND PASTE
There are 2 ways to copy and paste. First way is to click your right mouse and hold it
as you drag the cursor over the words or phrases you want to copy. Or, if you want to
copy the entire page, then you can right click the mouse anywhere on the page and the
drop down menu will appear. Click with the left mouse button while the cursor is over the
words select all. This will highlight the whole page. Sometimes this will also include things
that you do not want like the header of an email or other unwanted text, so be sure you
look to see what got highlighted with this method.
Practice with this page, I will space things so you can get the whole page by clicking the
right mouse over what beginning letter you want to start with in the sentence and then
holding it down as you drag the cursor over the length of the word.

It will turn blue as you drag the mouse. You can let go of the right mouse button after
everything you want to copy is highlighted. Don' click the mouse again until the cursor
is right on top of some of the highlighted things, then right click the mouse, a drop down
menu is presented. Place your cursor arrow over the word copy and left click the word
copy.It is now in your mouse and ready to be pasted. While you are practicing, leave
the page that you copied from open until you paste in case you need to start over.

Now go to the email or other page that you want to paste into. Place your cursor in the
area you want to paste in, and right click your mouse, another drop down menu will
appear. Place the arrow over the word paste and left click paste. Eureka! You have
transferred a document, email, or other text or graphic from one place to another!

Second way to copy and paste is to highlight the area with your mouse, same as above,
then while the highlight is still on, push the Ctrl (under the shift key) and the c key at the
same time. This will copy. To paste, click your cursor so the typing line shows on the
page you are pasting to, and push the Ctrl and the v key at the same time. The copied
items should appear like magic.

a sentence or the whole thing.

This works with text. Graphics and photos are very similar. Use the right click method
and the drop down menu will give you the option of save as, use this option. Make sure
it is save "AS". Left click this and type a word or two so you can remember what the
picture is, also make sure (the computer usually does this for you) it says that it is saving
your photo or image to your pictures file. This is the easiest way to retrieve them later in
a file that is easy to find.
