Cut, Copy, Paste (CCP)


It is always a good idea to print the instructions before you begin.

At the bottom of the class you will find the url to our other class projects.

This class wss rewritten by Linda C, co-owner HTML_HELP, December 29,2007.

Cut, Copy and Paste is pretty much the same for pc users as it is for webtv users. There are a few different ways webtv users can use this method. Under WEBTV USERS below you will find the instructions for additional information. To COPY something you need to place the cursor at the beginning of what you want to copy. If you are only going to copy a small portion then hold down your shift key and use your arrow key to move along the text you want to copy. If you want to copy the entire page, then place the cursor at the beginning of text and press the CMD and A key at the same time, this will highlight the entire page.

Next hold down the CMD and C key, this will copy the information. If you wish to cut the information then hold down the CMD and X key.

Go to where ever you want to paste the information, place your cursor in the text box and press down CMD and V key at the same time. This will paste your information.

If you wish to copy or cut a url from a website or gif, click on the page or gif and you will see the url, simply use the CMD and A key to highlight and follow the rest of the instructions above to cut or copy and paste.

not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile,
