Highlight the item you want to copy - press the button in your case - us mere mortals go to Edit and select Copy Open the page that you want to transfer the information to (you will think you have lost the information by opening another page but you won't have) Click on that page - press 'Paste' and Bob's your uncle!

Bryan Hold down your left mouse button and drag it to highlight the info you want. Click on Edit, then copy. Click on "Start" at the bottom left of your screen, click on Microsoft Word and when a page is offered click Edit then Paste.

Paul.....there are several ways but one of the easiest: If you want to copy and paste from a website to a document: 1. Open a blank word document and minimize it. 2. Bring up the web page and place your mouse at the beginning of the text you wish to copy. 3. Click down on your mouse, hold it down, and drag the mouse over the area you wish to copy. Let the mouse up and the area should be highlighted. 4. Place your mouse over the highlighted area and RIGHT click. 5. A drop down box appears. Click on COPY. 6. Bring the blank word document up. 7. Click your mouse on the blank word document and RIGHT click again. 8. From the drop down box that appears, click on PASTE. The information from the website should now be on the blank word document.

put the mouse at the start of the text you want copied. press and hold the left mouse button, and drag the cursor over the text that you want - you'll see it highlighted. you can release the mouse now. press Ctrl and C together. This copies it into memory To paste, put the cursor where you want it, and press Ctrl and V together

To copy a whole page: 1. At the top of your screen click on EDIT. 2. From the drop down box click on SELECT ALL. The webpage or document you are viewing should all now be highlighted. 3. Place your mouse on the highlighted page and follow the same directions I posted above.....

Or alternatively if someone puts a web address in a message you can highlight it, click "copy", go to the address bar at the top of the screen and click "paste", then edit it. e.g.remove the brackets, and hit "go"

Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong And carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven. Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way Through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven. Time can bring you down, Time can bend your knees. Time can break your heart, Have you begging please, begging please. Beyond the door, There's peace I'm sure, And I know there'll be no more Tears in heaven. Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong And carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven. Soundtracks | TV Themes | One Hit Wonders

Bryan, if you need to, you can paste several times from the first copy, handy if you want several copies, just keep moving to a fresh area and " Paste"........
