Howdy Jim,

Ok, I am not real sure if you are just wanting to "copy and paste" abit of text, or post a photo from another site, or make a screnshot of the entire computer screen you are seeing now....so, I will just tell you how to do each one. lol

to copy and paste something like text and or some photos from other sites:

Left click and hold "infront of" the text or photo to be copied, drag cursor across all of text or photo to be copied (it will then turn blue). Next, hold down "ctrl" and hit the letter "c". This will copy the text or photo to your clipboard for pasting.
To paste the txt or photo here in the forum, hold down "ctrl" and hit the letter "v". This will transfer the text or photo here to the text box.

The second way to post a photo here:
At the top of this text box (when making a reply or starting a new thread), you will see what looks like a "forward and reverse" button. Directly below the "reverse" button is a box with what appears to be a mountain and a small cloud in it. Click that, then go to the website where the photo you wish to have here is located, right click on it, then click on "properties" then you will see a "URL Location", copy and paste that address into the box (opened by clicking on the mountain button). Then hit enter and the photo will appear here.

Now for a screenshot (a copy of the entire computer screen):

hold down "alt" then hit "prnt scrn" (up by F 12) this will copy the entire screen. Now, go to "start" in the lower left corner of your screen and then go to programs, then to accessories then to "wordpad", "word" or "notepad" and open one of them. Once it is open, hold down "ctrl" and hit the letter "v" to print the entire screen there. You could also use this function to copy the entire screen, and then open a new thread an post that "screenshot" in the new thread.

I hope this helps, have a good day,

Greg

Ps:. later on i will tell ya'll how to find oddball symbols like the
¢ £ © ™ ® and even symbols such as the √ and fractions like
¼ ½ ¾ etc... all of which are already on your computer and ready to be used in letters, texts such as forum threads and in drawings. Just let me know when Ya'll are ready lol.
