Yesterday i asked on a thread for help in cutting and pasting from GR and i cant remember where I posted! Cant find it anyhow. Please may I ask again and this time I will write the answers down. I particularly wanted to print out something about being old and have no idea where that went either. Blame the fact that we had electricians here refurbishing the wiring and they were everywhere in the house

1. Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text you wish to copy. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button - the text should remain highlighted.

2. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'.

3. Move your cursor to the place you wish to copy the text, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text.

To Cut and Paste, follow the same steps except at point 2, select 'cut' instead of 'copy'

Another way, instead of right clicking you can use the keyboard instead

Ctrl + C = copy
Ctrl + X = cut
Ctrl + V = paste
or
Shift + Insert = paste

If you just want to print something jean. Highlight the text as above, go to 'print' and tick 'selection' then print and it will print the highlighted text.
