Tip:
Highlight text to annotate it
X
I'm going to teach you two of the most important commands
on any computer and that's copy and paste
and while i'm talking you'll see everything I type on the keyboard will
appear down here
in this black box
so lets say I have this of name of this book
and i want to go search for it
in google books
uh... i could retype the whole thing or I could copy
and there's two ways I can do that
I highlight the whole title of the book by clicking and dragging
and i can right click
and that gives me a big menu with lots of options
and one of them is copy
so i can
copy
that piece of text
and then if i go into my internet browser
uh... paste it
by doing the same
so when i right click in the research field I'm given a paste option
and that allows me to search
for that title
the other way to do that is to use the keyboard shortcut which is even quicker
so i can type control and while I am holding down control I just press the letter C
once
controlled c
and then
if i go back too
my search bar
i will just delete that out
and i can paste doing control
V
so once again pull down control and hit v
and that fills in the text that i have copied
and this goes not only for microsoft word into an internet browser but
basically from anyone place to another
so
i found this book but
google books doesn't let me read the whole thing
so what i can do actually
is that i make sure that i have this copied
and i can go into the library catalogue for instance
paste
and then search here
and i see that
library does in deed has a copy of this book
so i could just go check that out
additionally there are some formerally options that you're given
uh... so i have a copy at constitution here that i'm looking at online
and there's a lot formatting investors different colors and sizes of fonts
this is a big link
so right click and drag and highlighted all that
i can copy with command with controls c
controls c
and i can go into microsoft word
and when i right click i'm actually given several different ways to paste
and when you hover over it'll kind to show you a preview of the different ones
so this one
makes it look just like it did on the web so you can see the link their is
blue and clickable
but i can also make it
take on the formatting of the document and pasted into and i can make it just
text only so that can be very useful
i do a text only paste now i have the constitution but without all that messy
formatting that was on there
okay that was copying and pasting
