Cut and Paste
Cut and paste is just like how it sounds. In Kindergarten you
cut a picture out of magazines and pasted it on paper. In
computer lingo, you cut text or graphics and paste them in the
same or another document. Try it now – On your computer, Cut text
from the screen and Paste into a text area in your Word Processing
program.
- Highlight text then click the right mouse button - select
copy.
- Move pointer to target location, click the right mouse
button - select paste.
If it doesn’t work:
Netscape and Internet Explorer use Ctrl-C to copy the
highlighted area, or the whole page, then Ctrl V to paste. AOL
uses Ctrl-C, and then Ctrl-V to copy the highlight and Ctrl-V to
paste instead of the right mouse button.
TIP: Highlighting - To select an area, hold the left
mouse button down while moving the mouse. Hold the Shift key down
while pressing the left mouse button to extend a selected area.
Ctrl + left mouse button may be used when a list of files is
offered (add to/remove from list).
