Cutting and Pasting! Time Saving, Ryan's Way!

Ever had to type the same thing over and over again?
Have you ever had to get a piece of paper, write down something verbatim off your computer screen, and then go to another program on your computer and re-type the whole big long thing? Then how about trying the Windows functions of Cutting and Pasting!

Save time with cutting and pasting! It's easy!
There are a number of ways to cut or copy text, pictures, or files.
There are also a few ways to paste that information once it's on your Clipboard.
1) Highlight the text, files, or pictures you're interested in by clicking and dragging. Then you right click them with your mouse. This will bring up a right click menu, select Copy or Cut and click with your left mouse button to execute the command.
Once you've copied/cut your material, get your cursor where you want it, then right click select paste and left click it to execute the command.
2) Instead of using mouse right click commands, youc an do everything by the keyboard. Use CTRL + C to copy, CTRL+X to cut, and CTRL + V to Paste. This works especially well when applications or websites for some reason or another disable mouse commands.
3) To highlight everything on a page or in a window, use CTRL + A. This is especially useful if you want to copy all the text of an email.
4) Finally, you can also go up to the EDIT on the toolbar in most Windows applications and select to copy, cut, or paste.

Happy Time Savings!
