    1. [ROOTWALKER] How to Copy-and-Paste
    2. Hello everyone, We have a number of new members of the ROOTWALKER family that may not know how to copy-and-paste. This is a very important, timesaving function that is used a lot by many people involved in genealogical research. I have posted this before, but for the benefit of the newer kids on the block, here it is again. ********** If you don't know how to copy-and-paste, here is the way to do it; 1. Click on one side of the item to be copied. Be sure to not include commas, periods, brackets, or quotes that may have been sent to define the beginning and end of the address. 2. While holding your left-clicker down, drag the cursor across the area to be copied. This will highlight the address. (If you are wanting to copy a paragraph, obituary, or a large segment of a page, simply drag your cursor across the page until the top line is highlighted, then while still holding the clicker down, drag the cursor toward the bottom of the area you want to copy-and-paste.) 3. After highlighting the address, press down your "control" (Ctrl) key and hold it down. While holding down the control key, press the letter C. 4. Move your arrow with your mouse to the place you want to put the address and click with the left clicker. (To you AOL users, in this case, would be the white line at the top of the page directly below the icons that say "Print," "My Files," "My AOL," and so on.) 5. After clicking in the space to put what you wish to search for, press down your "Control" key again and hold it down. Then, while holding down the control key, press the letter V. This will copy the address for you. Then, after copying the address, simply click on "Go," or whatever command your ISP provides to allow you to conduct a search. I hope this helps some of you. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen Yelowstone@aol.com
