Cut and Paste
Cut and paste is just like how it sounds. In Kindergarten you cut a picture out of magazines and pasted it on paper. In computer lingo, you cut text or graphics and paste them in the same or another document. Try it now – On your computer, Cut text from the screen and Paste into a text area in your Word Processing program.

• Highlight text then click the right mouse button - select copy.
• Move pointer to target location, click the right mouse button - select paste.

If it doesn’t work:
Netscape and Internet Explorer use Ctrl-C to copy the highlighted area, or the whole page, then Ctrl V to paste. AOL uses Ctrl-C, and then Ctrl-V to copy the highlight and Ctrl-V to paste instead of the right mouse button.
TIP: Highlighting - To select an area, hold the left mouse button down while moving the mouse. Hold the Shift key down while pressing the left mouse button to extend a selected area. Ctrl+left mouse button may be used when a list of files is offered (add to/remove from list).
