Question

I just haven't been using computers for four years and need to keep updated on different uses of the computer. Need a reminder on how to "cut & paste" data like resumes through email. Explain the steps clearly. Thankyou, dada1261

Answer 1

Put your cursor at the beginning of what you want selected, click and drag it to the end point of what you want copied or cut; this will leave it highlighed.
To cut: ctrl - x
To copy: ctrl - c

Then click inside your email text box.
To paste: ctrl - v

Normally I use copy more than paste that way if I screw up some how its not gone forever.

Answer 2

If you have a resume already typed up - go to file , then select all, then right click copy, and then in the body of your email message right click and select paste (shortcut cntrl v).

To send as an attachment which might be better because it'll keep your formatting (indents and stuff): Open up a wordpad document. Most wordpads are under Start, Accessories, Wordpad. Then from your resume document go to File, Select All, then Right Click and select Copy, and then Right click and paste. Then save the document. Then go into your email and click add attachment. You may also need to click on browse or a box will automatically appear. In the box select where your file is saved (on your desktop, in my documents) find your file and click on it and then click add. Then you are finished.

Answer 3

I assume you know where the data's at. If your able to view your data you can click Ctrl + A on your keyboard to highlight your info. Ctrl + C to copy and Ctril +V to paste.
