How do I Cut and Paste into a Word Processor?

1. Holding down the left mouse button (on a Mac just click and hold the mouse), drag and highlight the text you want to copy.

2. Go to Edit on the top drag-down menu and select "copy".

3. Open a new document in your word processor.

4. Go to Edit on the top drag-down menu and select "paste". (You can also use speed keys - to copy press command (control) C and command (control) V to paste. If you wish to cut, something use command (control) X.


*If you need one column of text pasted and one where you can type, go to the format drag-down menu and select columns. A prompt page will ask you to select the number of columns you want. Select two and click okay.
