Copy & Paste is pretty simple. 1. Position your cursor (arrow) immediately in front of the first letter of the first word of the text you want to copy. 2. LEFT click & HOLD down your mouse button while you drag the cursor to the end of the text you are copying. It should now be highlighted ( blue or black usually). 3. Release the mouse button. 4. Click Edit at the top of your active page ( the bar across the top will be in color - i.e.. blue) and click on Copy. 5. Position your cursor (arrow) where you want to paste the text you just copied. ( Example - a new email message) 6. Left click and release 7. Click on Edit at the top of the new page and click Paste. Your copied text should now appear in it's new location. If you have any problem just yell.
