    We know the basics which is what you are telling us. One of the teachers with this problem is certified in Office and I work as help desk tech support.

Copy and Paste has to work. Maybe you are doing something wrong.

For example if you copy three rows of excel data then when you get ready to paste it you must select and highlight three rows to paste it.

There are other ways to copy and paste something tool For example highlight what you want to copy then put the mouse pointer on it and do a Right Click and select copy. You can also Right Click Where you want to paste it.

Also you can highlight what you want to copy then Press and Hold the CTRL then hit the letter C key. When you want to paste it you can simply put the mouse where you want it to go, then Press and Hold the CTRL key then hit the letter V key.

Of course there are the way most people know which is to hit File/Edit/Copy at the top of the window or File/Edit/Paste.

  • LOL, ok so you know the basics and i'm not trying to be smart. But if you know the basics, why would you leave a stable system and jump on the Windows 7 bandwagon? It's an accident waiting to happen. You haven't seen nothing yet.

I have a platinum keyboard, and am having trouble getting the cut/paste keys to work. Is there a switch or key press I am missing?

Cut and Paste controls for windows are via the control key.
i.e. Control+C copies the highlighted item.
Control+V pastes the item back into the current window.
Control+X Cuts the highlighted item (i.e. removes as well as copies it)

TROUBLESHOOTING; TWITTER,When I try to RT (Copy/paste) the text shows up, but no picture! HELP

I am not a user of Twitter and most social networking sites but have a high level of knowledge about internet functions. In most cases when it comes to copy/paste function images a lot of the time are not allowed to be pasted as part of text since they are not text. Sometimes when you copy text and image together the copy function strips everything down to text which in the case of an image is not possible. You might see sometimes once you paste that the file name is there but not the image itself and most other times you only get the text. The image in the text has a place holder but that place holder is not copied. As for twitter I would assume that you might have to attach the image file using their file attachment function after you paste the text.

Copy and paste

Thanks for posting your question here at fixya! ;)
You must select text (or some item in the document or content you are working with) to turn on the menu item you wish to use. On the keyboard, the keyboard shortcut for copy is ctrl+c, and the shortcut for paste is ctrl+v. After copying the item you wish to paste, (you may want to click into the area you wish to paste) use the ctrl+v to finish the paste function.
