General Chat

I have just had a reply by e-mail, to an enquiry that I sent to a records office. However, it appears to be in a 'wide screen' format, thus only showing half a line, until I use the sliding bar to see the end of the line. I have tried printing it out, and it does the same. Would someone plase tell me how I can adjust this so I can read and print it out.
Please, please, simple terms only

Thanks for asking this Julia, I am having this problem with emails from my Sister.....

sally.....

Can you copy and paste into a word doc then adjust and print?

Many thanks Ann in Glos. for that suggestion, but I am not that savvy with the computer. Think I'll e-mail the grandaughter that is savvy, and ask her what to do. She usually sorts those sort of things for me but she is not due to visit for another couple of weeks at least.
Again, many thanks

Somerset Girl, In a nutshell NO. I never got the hang of it.

I'm glad I have seen this thread.I have been told how to copy and paste but still can't do it LOL Maybe seeing it in words 'how' I will finally do it.People lose patience with me as I am so hopeless when it comes to trying new things on the computer.I may be told a couple of times how to do something and if I still can't do it I get rolled eyes lol

Helen,

place the cursor on the start letter of the text you want to copy, hold down left click, and drag the cursor all along the text, and down to the end..

this will now be in blue, now right click ON the blue, and a likkle menu will appear, select COPY, and click on that......
NOW......

go to where you want to copy this text to.and right click on the space.

you now get the likkle menu with paste in it..........click on paste.........job done

Bob - many thanks for your explanation. Using thre same simple terms, would you tell me how to scan to computer. I have a copier/scanner /printer, and know how to scan things. I just do not, and cannot get, the method of how to get it to my computer, so that you can send it on to someone else. I think that is actually two things. Off to do the dinner now, but will be back tomorrow.
Many thanks

I have successfully managed to do this, by using the suggestion of Mgtwl,to look at the www.wikihow.com/Copy-and-Paste site. It is very simple to use, and I have now got a copy of the e-mail that I wanted.
I hope Moonchild and Helen, have equal success
