Q: How do I copy and paste?

Moving text from a web page onto an email, or from a Word doc to something is all the same. You are moving text from one place to another without having to retype it all in the new location.

1. Copy and paste with your mouse:
Open a web page and a new email form.
Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text you want to copy, then click and hold the LEFT mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text.
Release the LEFT mouse button. With the cursor over the highlighted text, click on the RIGHT mouse button for options, and select 'copy'.
Go to the open email form, put your cursor where you want the copied text to appear. RIGHT click your mouse, and select 'paste.' The text you copied from the page is now on your email.

2. Copy and paste with shortcut keys:
To Highlight everything on the page: Press 'Ctrl' + 'A'.
To Copy: Highlight an area, as shown above, then hold 'Ctrl' + 'C' (For Mac users 'Apple' + 'C').
To Paste: Click your mouse where you want the text pasted, and then press 'Ctrl' + 'V' (For Mac users 'Apple' + 'S').

3. Copy and paste with drop down menus:
Highlight the text you want with your LEFT mouse button and dragging across the text. Click on EDIT at the top of your browser or Word screen and choose COPY. Go to where you want the text, click on EDIT at the top of your browser or Word screen and choose PASTE.
