| For those who don't already know, there are key stroke shortcuts for cutting and pasting. These instructions are written for PC users, but Mac is essentially the same but the control button is the ALT button or some such.
The control button is at the bottom left and right of most keyboards. When using it, press it down first, then the second key so both are down at the same time. The standard abbreviation for the control button is ^
Steps
- Highlight the text you want, press ^c - this copies the highlighted text into the "clipboard" (a hidden space in la la land)
- Control ^x both copies the text and deletes it from where you're copying it from
- Control ^a highlights ALL of the text on the page you're working in so you can use it to ^c copy it into your clipboard or ^x delete it.
- Go to the place you want to put the text, press ^v - this "pastes" whatever's in the clipboard into where you're at now
To copy a shortcut, hyperlinked URL or email address: right click on it, select "Copy Short Cut," go to where you want to put it, press ^v to paste it.
IMPORTANT: Read Software Quirks for notes about cutting and pasting from external sources and Setting Hyperlinks for instructions on copying embedded hyperlinks.
REMEMBER: You MUST paste through Notepad when copying anything from an external source to remove all hidden coding.
