Even though
most of us are relatively competent in the operation of computers there are a
few stragglers out there who don’t really know what I call the pre-basics of
using the computer. Sure, they know some
things because they either want to or have been forced to do something on the
computer but haven’t become efficient enough in other areas. Therefore it is on my heart to share what
knowledge I do have with those of us who have resisted learning the computer
for whatever reason.
I guess,
since I taught in the Chicago Public School System for several years practicing
as a substitute teacher I long to practice my skills again. I really enjoyed teaching but it seemed that
I would never make FTB (Full-time Basis) status. It seemed as though right when it was about
to happen some teacher would come along and bump me out of the position. So I had to move on to a real full-time job
so that I could support my family. My
experience as a teacher could be a whole new book but it is at least another
chapter. So I want to share this
pre-basic computer training with those of us who are trying to get it together.
To copy and paste is easy. First go to the
beginning word(s) that you want to copy. I'm using a laptop and not a mouse.
I'm using the key pad in front of the keyboard. So using the key pad I click on
the lower left-hand corner holding it down while I run my finger over the
keypad with slight pressure in order to highlight the word, phrase, paragraph,
etc.
Once the information is highlighted point the cursor somewhere in the blue area that is highlighted and right click. That will bring a dropdown box and you choose "copy" from the options. Next you pull up a blank document (Word, WordPad, etc.). When you see the blinking cursor (or if you don't see it just click anywhere that you want to paste the content on the page; then you will see the blinking cursor). Then right click again. You'll see the dropdown box again and this time you select "paste". There you have it.
This time when you select your copy using a mouse, left click it and hold it down while dragging it across the content you want to copy until it is all highlighted. Then holding down the Ctrl (Control) button also press V (for paste) and you will see it pasted. If you want to repeat the paste on the same page just Ctrl-V again as many times as you want to repeat the copy and paste.
