Sometimes, when you try to copy something off a web, site it won't let you. The text will highlite but won't copy. In this case, after highliting the text, click on "Edit" at the top of the screen then "Copy". After that proceed as before. This usually works. Bob

Hi I will have a go. 1. Highlight the picture or text that you want to cut or copy. 2. right click on the highlighted area and select copy or cut. Cut will remove the selected picture or text and copy will copythe text or picture). 3. open the document where you want to paste. 4. left click once so that the cursor is flashing. 5. right click and select paste Hope that helps Gail

Margaret, Hope this helps, 1. Highlight with your mouse the sentence or phrase etc. you want to copy (You do this by holding down the left mouse button and pulling the mouse along over the bit you want) 2. Once highlighted hold down your Control (CTRL) button and the "C" button at the same time. 3. Click where you want to paste the copied bit to. 4. Hold down your Control (CTRL) button and the "V" button at the same time Emma PS Apologies for telling you how to highlight something, but honestly my Dad didn't know how to do that bit!
