Computer Lessons for the Beginner

How to copy and paste

On computers (does not apply to Apple Computers), there is a CTRL key, that is short for control.

Computers have either a "mouse", touch pad or tracker ball.

Depending on your settings, you will have a cursor someplace on the screen. When you move the
mouse or other device, the cursor will move.

Dragging is when you hold down the shift key and move the cursor. This will high light or select text or
objects. Usually it will select whatever you drag over.

To copy the selected items, push the control key and the "C" key. You have now copied the selected
items.

To paste, place your cursor in the desired location. Then press control and the "V" key. You will see you
selected and copied items appear.

If you want to simply remove, do control and "Z". To redo back, do control and "Y"

To print, do control and "P". To save do control and "S"

There are pull down tabs on the upper left hand side of most programs that have all these commands.
Depending on the tool bar you have, there may be icons for these also such a the picture of a small
printer for print.

When you get to your next area of confusion on the computer, let me know and I will write a specific set
of instructions for you if I know how to.  :-)
