OK, place the mouse cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to copy anywhere on this page. Click and hold the left mouse button. Now, with the mouse button still being held, drag your mouse across the text. You will see the text being highlighted as you pass over it. When you get to the end of the text you want to copy, release the mouse button. Hope this has worked!! Nanna-Moo ;-))

omg, thanks for that Steve, it's so easy once you've had a go!!! My Son has tried so many times to show me how to do this...lol Nanna-Moo ;-)))

Steve, even with the info, It's still too complicated for me, I am the ultimate Welsh Country Bumpkin...Er, tell me what is technology...these here hills can't cope with it... LOL LOL ! ! ! X X

Star this is what I found on the internet: To cut,copy and paste: 1. Take your mouse and position the cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to copy. 2. Click left and drag over the text to highlight it. 3. Release left mouse button. 4. With the cursor hovering over the highlighted text (anywhere), click the RIGHT mouse button and select copy from the drop down menu (using right mouse button) 5. Now go to the place you want to put your copy, (using your left mouse button to get to that place, if you need to) 6. Then click your right mouse button and select paste OC

Thanx Old Crone, I'll give it a try, but it probably won't work for me.......! ! !

I noticed a few people dont know how to cut and past, well if like me your a slow typer, this can be usefull, if you have a large bit to put on here................First open note pad.............write your text...............then follow the instructions below.........then click add message...........stick a title in.........put summat in the box.....click add message............then open up the thread and click add reply..........then past in your message........time saver lol Hey ~ look I did it LOL LOL!!!!

Stars post-Hey ~ look I did it LOL LOL!!!! I Cut and pasted Steve's Thread...Oh COOL Thankyou Steve and OC XX Well done Star, I have always struggled with this and now it seems so easy! Can have lots of fun now......he he he... Nanna-Moo ;-))

Have you ever had to copy a really big letter or paragraph by typing from one file to another? Or from a web page to an email? If so, you know it can be a very tedious job. Let your mouse relieve your keyboard fingers for a minute. You can do what is called 'Cut & Paste' or Copy & Paste'. well what do you know i did it ..thanks shirley

n so i can find it later. Bx

Stevie.... you're gorgeous lol. I'm an old lady, and a numpty to boot, but I understood your instructions perfectly. You wouldn't like to keep adding to this thread with some basic computer skills would you. I for one would love it. Jean x.

Thanks all Glad it helped some Jean What sort of stuff do you need hun if you give me an idea i can work on some tutorials for you Sxx

Quick way to highlight a whole page - go to Edit and choose Select All - saves having to 'drag' it all into blue text.

Word.... I just don't understand Word. I set up margins and tabs....think I've got them right... type the first line and then they all revert back to default. aaaaarrrrggg. Told you I was a numpty. Jean x.

Of course you can always highlight the passage press ctrl and c go to where you want to put it and press ctrl and v and don't ask how this dimwit worked that one out !!! and I still can't cut and paste !!! LOL Jac noticed a few people dont know how to cut and past, well if like me your a slow typer, this can be usefull, if you have a large bit to put on here................First open note pad.............write your text...............then follow the instructions below.........then click add message...........stick a title in.........put summat in the box.....click add message............then open up the thread and click add reply..........then past in your message........time saver lol

Jac yep ya can do it that way as well, i use both ways lol but for some reason people cant remember keyboard short cuts lol Jean Pm me with exactly your trying to do in word and i will se if i can help you tho to be honest most people just use the default setting or the built in templates.

Try this site - lots of info on here http://winbeginners*com/basics*htm (change the ^'s for .'s You can then paste and copy the lessons into Word for furture reference.

You don't need to open a notepad to cut/copy and paste, just follow Steve the Flirt's instructions as below (cut and pasted!) OK, place the mouse cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to copy anywhere on this page. Click and hold the left mouse button. Now, with the mouse button still being held, drag your mouse across the text. You will see the text being highlighted as you pass over it. When you get to the end of the text you want to copy, release the mouse button'. It is then easier, after getting to the end of the text you wish to copy, to release the left mouse button, then press the right mouse button and you will see, cut, copy, delete, paste etc. Click on cut if you want to remove the piece to put it elsewhere, or copy if you just want to copy it. (Or delete if you just want to delete something). Then you can click on reply on here, or open an e-mail, or windows, or any other document you like. Right click and paste. There is another way, whereby once you have highlighted the piece you want to cut or copy, you can click on Edit on the toolbar at the top of the screen and choose, cut, copy etc. Then when you have decided where to place your piece, go back to Edit and choose paste.

Old Crone Just read your posting and realised you have said exactly what I was trying to explain, but more succinctly! Liz

Liz Much as I would love to take the credit, I found the simple instructions on google! And I NEED simple instructions lol - the shortcut keys dont work for me for some reason. OC

OC My husband uses shortcuts all the time, but when I watch him, I often think the way I do things is quicker - but then many moons ago I was trained as a typist and he only uses 2 fingers (to use the keyboard I mean!!!). Liz
