Hi Val, I highlight what I want to copy and then go into Edit and press "copy". I then go into a blank word document and go into Edit again and press "paste". Others may do something different. Aileen

Val The writing should go blue at that stage, right click and then copy. You then need to go into a word document or email or whatever you are doing, you then right click again and the paste. I hope this works. Liz

Once you have been told to copy bring up a blank page then click and paste it will work

Okay Val start again. Go to the beginning of what you want to copy. Press the left hand side of the mouse and keep your finger on it. Drag it down to the end of the text and release your finger. The text should be highlighted in blue. Go to the top of the page and press EDIT, COPY should be in bold lettering. Press it. Then minimise the screen and go to wherever you want to put the text. Press EDIT again, and press PASTE. Try that. Aileen
