In this lesson we will learn how to use the "copy" and "paste" functions in our computer. Knowing how to do this saves you lots of time when working with computers. First lets try to "copy" something.
The first step in copying is telling the computer exactly what it is supposed to copy. We select what we want to copy by putting the mouse cursor at the beginning of the words we want to copy, clicking and holding down the mouse button, then dragging the mouse to the end of the text we wish to copy and letting go of the button. You will notice that the words will highlight blue when this is done properly.
Once you have selected what you want to copy, then click the edit button at the top of the screen. Find and click the word "copy" in the edit menu. That's all there is to it. Now the computer has the words you selected stored in its memory and it is ready to "paste" them where you want.
