Just left click and drag to highlight, then right click and cut or copy. then right click on your new document and *wellah* you can choose paste. Yes, "cut and paste" is the generic term for grabbing text and inserting it elsewhere in the same document or another document or application. However, one should be aware that not everyone is using a windows machine and thus the sequence of mouse clicks or keyboard strokes will depend on what a particular person is using. For example, the control-C, control-V sequence will not work if using unix and an X-windows interface (left click and drag, right click to paste works though). In any case, the general rule is that one should only cut-n-paste enough text to maintain the context of what you're commenting on. On Usenet I'll usually indicate where I've cut significant portions of text. The goal is to make the article readable while eliminating any text that is not necessary. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Jan 01 2000 - 06:05:38 PST
