Answer 1

Hi zara
put the cursur at the beginning of the word or sentence that you want to cut
hold the left click button down and drag the curser along the sentence with the mouse or pad until everything you want to cut is highlighted blue,
release the left click button (curser changes to arrow)
keep the curser in the blue and press the right click button to bring up the menu release the right button
select 'cut' by moving arrow down until 'cut' is highlighted
right click and highlighted text is cut
Put curser where you want to 'paste' ( you can
change pages and put it emails for example)
right click and bring up menu
highlight 'paste' and transfer is complete

Answer 2

Keeping things simple, imagine that you have typed out three paragraphs of an email or a form. After reading the top paragraph you want to move it to under the third paragraph. For Cutting, you need to "select" the top paragraph by pointing your mouse arrow at the top left hand corner of the text and keeping your finger pressed down on the left button of your mouse, sweep diagonally over the paragraph highlighting it, usually in blue. Then using Edit, click Cut.

To Paste your Cut paragraph, first place your mouse arrow where you want your paragraph to re-appear, in my example under the third paragraph. Now click on Edit again then Paste, you should find that the paragraph appears in the new position.

It's a good idea to have a few practise runs until you can easily cut and paste.

Answer 3

Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to copy, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the place you want to copy the text to, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text. :-)

Cut and paste is the same as above, except you choose 'cut', instead of 'copy'.

Answer 4

old ctrl and press:

c to copy
x to cut
v to paste.

Alternatively, you can right mouse click the highlighted text and cut, copy and paste that way.

BTW, Eejits is the way an Irishman says idiots.

Answer 5

1) Highlight what you want to cut by holding down the left mouse-button at the front of the section and moving it to the end of the section.

2) Make sure the sursor is anywhere ontop of this highlighted chunk

3) Right-click your mouse

4) Select 'Cut' by moving your mouse to highlight the word, and click with left button

5) Click the cursor where you want to put this chunk.

6) Right-click on the mouse, and select 'Paste'

Answer 6

okey dokey

using the mouse select the text by placing the mouse just before the first character.
Press down the left mouse button, and move the mouse to select the text you wish to cut.
Once it is all selected release the left mouse button then press the right mouse button, you can now select Copy which will copy the text into memory or Cut which will remove the text and save it into memory.
Now got where you wish to paste the text, press the right mouse button and choose Paste.

Easy...........

Answer 7

take your mouse to the top part of the text you want to cut.
hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to the bottom part of the text that you want to cut.
let go of the mouse button
the text should now be highlighted
go to the top of the window you are in and click 'edit' then click on 'copy'

take your mouse to the area where you want to past the text. left click once, now go to the top of the page again and click 'edit' and the 'paste'

{edit} as with most windows tasks there is more than one way of doing this

Answer 9

Ctrl+c = copy
Ctrl+x = cut
Ctrl+v = paste
Ctrl+z = undo

These functions will be performed on whatever is 'selected' in your windows program

Answer 10

select the text or icons you want to operate on then

(ctrl + c) = copy
(ctrl + x) or (shift + delete) = cut
(ctrl + v) or (shift + insert) = paste
(ctrl + z) or (alt + backspace) = indo
(shift + delete) = permanent delete ignores moving data to recycle bin
(window key + break) = properties of my comp
(alt + d) = focus on address bar


i can provide you with a lots more..mail me for that

bye........
