You can usually find it also under EDIT, at the top of most text programs. There are many "Control shortcuts" Control+ the following P= Print C= COPY to the clipboard V=Paste text from the clipboard X= CUT the text to the clipboard R= Refresh in some applications A= "select all" HOLDING DOWN the LEFT mouse button and dragging across text "highlights, and RIGHT clicking opens the EDIT window, where you can choose cut, copy, paste, etc. Jeffery G.
