Copying And Pasting

When you "copy and paste" or "cut and paste" you are using a Windows program called "Clipboard".

What is the Windows Clipboard?

The Windows Clipboard is like a note pad available to Windows and all running programs. It allows pieces of information/data to be temporarily stored and then retrieved later by either the same or another application.

2. Then copy the text by:
• Use the keyboard and press "CTRL" and "C".

OR

• Use the left mouse button to click on "Edit" in the menu bar. Then select "Copy" in the drop down menu.

4. And paste the text by:
• Place the cursor in the position where you want the text either by using the arrows keys to navigate your way through the text or use the left mouse button to click and place the cursor in the position you want the pasted text to appear.
