I have Windows XP and I'm really computer illiterate.
Is there someone out there that can tell me how to cut, copy and paste?
What I'm trying to do is copy the body of an email so I can forward it on without the other peoples names or addresses. I tried to do this but don't know where to find it once it's been copied. Or do I have to actually put it somewhere?
I'm not that good with computers but here is how I do it.
Ok what you are wanting to copy highlight it. With your mouse hit the left click and it will highlight all that you want it too. Then it the Copy button or hold down the Ctrl key and C at the same time and it will copy it for you. Now to paste it. I just open up where I want to paste it at before I copy it. Anyhow just hit the Paste button where you are wanting to paste it at or you can hold down the Ctrl and V and it will paste it for you. I hope this helps. I'm not a very good teacher... Let me know how it goes.
Oh and my computeris Windows 98 but it should be the same. I hope.

littlecmom, Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. A friend of my husbands came by and showed me a real easy way: right click and copy highlighted stuff and then right click again and paste it where you need to put it.
I knew it was really simple thats how come I couldn't figure it out!
Your Welcome. Yes that sounds like me if it is simple I will not figure it out. Then it's like Oh I knew that...
I'm glad you got it all working out for you. Hope you have a good day....

If the email is something I want to share with others but don't want them to have to see who sent it to me or be forced to open it several times because of the forwards, I just
1. Click forward
2. Delete the previous senders list of emails and anything else I don't want
3. Sometimes delete the forward in the subject line
4. Then it is ready to send.
Then if I want to save it to word or works on the computer I
1. Go to edit and select all or use the "control button" (ctrl) and "A"
2. Go to edit and select copy or use the "control button" (ctrl) and "C"
3. Open word or works
4. Go to edit (in word or works) and select paste or use the "control button" (ctrl) and "V"
5. Now you can edit the text or save where ever you want to save it. Or even print it out.
