Below are some easy ways to copy and paste. Good luck!
How to print out only part of the newsletter OR a recipe on the Message Board from Nancy:
1. Drag the mouse over text (with the left mouse button pressed.) It will highlight the part of the newsletter you wish to print.
2. While the text is highlighted Press the Ctrl Key and the P Key at the same time.
3. Under the print range change it from ALL to SELECTION.
4. This will only print out the section you have highlighted and not the entire page.

Shortcuts:
To Highlight: Press 'Ctrl' + 'A'.
To Copy: Highlight an area, as shown above, then hold 'Ctrl' + 'C' (For Mac users 'Apple' + 'C').
To Paste: Click your mouse where you want the text pasted, and then press 'Ctrl' + 'V' (For Mac users 'Apple' + 'S'.
The ability to cut, copy, and paste is found in most programs. Sometimes, the ability to do these tasks via the mouse is disabled, but is still quickly achieved through the use of the shortcuts outlined above.
Print these out!
COPY AND PASTE USING THE MOUSE:
Put the mouse at the beginning of what you want to copy and click the left mouse button, holding it down while you drag over the section.
Drag across or down. At the end of what you want copied, let go of the mouse button.
What you want to copy should be highlighted!
(If you goof, click the mouse button once to unhighlight, then start over.)
While it's highlighted, hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter "c". This copies the highlighted part to an invisible clipboard.
Now go to where you want to paste it. Put the cursor on that spot by clicking the left mouse button once. Now hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter "v" to paste what you copied.
If you want to move text from one place to another, highlight the text then hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter "x". Click on the place you want to move it to, hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter "v" to paste it in the new place.
(This cuts it from the original place, copies it to the invisible clipboard and then pastes it in the new place.)
Ctrl + c = copyCtrl + v = pasteCtrl + x = move
HIGHLIGHTING USING THE KEYBOARD:
Another quick tip to make life easier is learning how to use the keyboard to highlight things.
Put the cursor at the beginning of what you want to copy by clicking there once with the left mouse button.
Now hold down the Shift key and use either the arrow keys, the Home key or the End key to highlight.
The arrow keys are self-explanatory. (Try it!)
Holding down the Shift key and then hitting the Home key will highlight from the cursor to the beginning of a line.
Holding down the Shift key and then hitting the End key will highlight from the cursor to the end of a line.
