Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Michael Burton, with michaelburtonfilms.org, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and we're here talking about how to use Microsoft Windows. Now I want to show you how to copy and paste certain parts of a document. Let me start out by saying that Windows XP is a registered trademark of Microsoft, and I am in no way affiliated with Microsoft. Here's our, there are a few ways to to copy and paste parts of a document. I'm going to show you a few of the ways. Down here on my task bar I have a document that I have opened in Microsoft Word. I just typed a little poem here that says Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, and so are you. I'm just going to show you how to copy and paste, and rearrange these text any way that you want, depending on on how you, on how you, what you need to say. For example, if we want to copy roses are red, and put it down here below the and so are you, we can highlight the roses are red. Here's one of the ways to copy; we can right click, and then highlight copy. Then what we do is we can choose a new location to put Roses are red. Right click again, and click paste. Now, we've just copied that sentence Roses are red and put it down at the bottom. You could put that anywhere you want on the page. Let's delete that real quick. Another way to copy Roses are red and move it somewhere else would be to come up here to your toolbar. You can see we have a bunch of different things along here. We got print, print preview, spelling and grammar. Here we've got cut and copy. If we click on copy it'll automatically copies to our clipboard Roses are red. Now, in order to paste this we can choose our location. Again, we can right click and click paste, or we can actually come up here to where it says paste, and it shows a little clipboard, so it's going to say pasting basically from our clipboard. And we click paste, and it pastes Roses are red. Now, for another example of copying we can u, we can highlight Roses are red, and we can actually use a keyboard command. Now, I can't show you this on the keyboard right now, but I will tell you its is Control C. If you hit Control C it will copy the item. You select a new area that you want to put it, or where in the text you want to add that line Roses are red, and you click Control V as in Victor, which actually then pastes your sentence on the page. These are a few methods of copy and paste. Of course, you can also cut and paste, and move things around at will. I can right click and copy the sentence Violets are blue; insert my cursor before Roses are red. Right click and click paste. And there we go. We have the sentence right before now Roses are red. There's pretty much virtually anything that you can do with the copy and paste method."
