In ''laymens'' terms How do you copy/paste material???

Question

I'm computer illiterate and need to know how to copy/paste in word I can understand and also is there an exercise I can do after learning how so I can ''practice'' doing it???

Answer 1

you highlight whatever you want to copy, by left clicking on it and dragging until you have all that you want to paste somewhere else highlighted. you then right click and a drop down menu appears, go to where it says "copy" and left click on "copy. you then go to the page or the area where you want to paste it in and then left click and then right click again, go down to paste and left click on paste and it will paste itself in that area. hope this works for you, it takes a little practice.

Answer 2

You must select something (object) and make sure it is high-lighted in the application you want to copy.



Usually you can right click to bring up a supplemental menu.



Select Copy then go to the application you want to paste the object into and right click and select Paste.



In human-computer interaction, cut and paste or copy and paste is a user interface paradigm for transferring text, data, files or objects from a source to a destination. Most ubiquitous is the ability to cut and paste sections of plain text. This paradigm is closely associated with graphical user interfaces that use pointing devices.



Performing cut and pastes



The text to be moved is selected by some method, typically by dragging over the text with the pointing device.



A cut operation is performed by key combination, menu, or other means.



The visible effect of the cut is to remove the text immediately from its location.



Conceptually, the text has been moved to a location often called the clipboard. The clipboard is typically invisible. On most systems there is only one location in the clipboard, hence another cut operation overwrites the previously stored information. Multiple clipboard entries are provided by many UNIX text editors and some Windows clipboard manager programs that are available over the Internet.



A location for insertion is selected by some method, typically by clicking at the desired insertion point.



A paste operation is performed which visibly inserts the clipboard text at the insertion point.



The paste operation is nondestructive; the text remains in the clipboard and additional copies can be inserted at other points.



Have fun but be safe.

Answer 5

All you do is highlight the part you want to copy. Right click on it left click on copy. Then go to where you want to paste it and right click paste.



You can also use Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste.



If you want to practice just open a word document go to different websites and just highlight different sections with your mouse and copy it. Then paste in a word document. Pretty easy. Good Luck.
