Copy words and put them somewhere else

You copy words from one place, then paste them in another. The words stay where they were, too.

  1. Step 1: Hold the left mouse button down at the start of the words and move to the end of them.

    You will see The words are shaded.

    If it goes wrong Missed some? Click once anywhere and start again.

  2. Step 2: Let go of the mouse button.

    You will see The words stay shaded.

  3. Step 3: Hold the Ctrl key and press C.

    You will see Nothing seems to happen. That is normal: the words are copied.

  4. Step 4: Click where you want the words to go.

    You will see A blinking line shows there.

  5. Step 5: Hold the Ctrl key and press V.

    You will see The words appear.
