How to copy text

Once you've selected your text, you can copy it. Copying it makes the computer remember it so you can paste it somewhere else. Here's how you copy text. Remember, you need to have already selected text:

• On a PC:  Hold down the control key then press C. Release both keys.
• On a Mac:  Hold down the Command key then press C. Release both keys.

How to paste text

Use the mouse to place the cursor where you want to text to be. Then click the left mouse button once to tell the cursor to stay put. (If you have a Mac you might have just one button, so press that.) Then:

• On a PC:  Hold down the control key then press V. Release both keys.
• On a Mac:  Hold down the Command key then press V. Release both keys.
