HOW do I move text from my email program to a word processor?
The easiest way is to copy and paste. Here's how. (All clicks are LEFT clicks unless stated otherwise.)
1. In your email program, move the cursor to the beginning of the text you want to copy and click to set it.
2. Click and hold down the mouse button while moving the mouse to drag the cursor over the text. See how it changes color? This is called 'selecting the text.'
3. Right click the selected text.
4. On the popup menu that appears, click 'Copy'.
The text is copied to the invisible Windows clipboard.
5. Move to your word processor and click the mouse where you want to insert the text.
6. Right click, and select 'Paste'. The text will appear.
You can substitute the keyboard shortcuts for this if you want to. To copy, highlight the text, then press the Ctrl key and the C key together. Move the cursor, then press the Ctrl key and the V key together.
If you want to copy all of the text immediately, click once to set the cursor. Then press Ctrl and the A key together.This copies 'All' the text.
