manda/angel

ok im on my computer got a disk going till friday no more telewest

so how do you cut and past mate

Hi Intern

Well done on the PC
do you have a hotmail or yahoo mail yet

To cut and past
Put your mouse pointer to the start of what you want to cut, Hold down the LEFT button on your mouse and then move it along the words you want to cut (Still holding down the button)

this will hi-light it

release the button.

then RIGHT click on the hi-lighted words, you will get a dropdown list,
click on the "COPY"
you now have the words saveed.

go to where you want to put the words, a quick left click to show it where you want to put the words,
they LEFT click the mouse, another box will drop down, click on the word "PASTE"
and the words will appear there

That is the best way to start, you will soon learn the short cut keys
"ctrl" and "C" to copy,
"ctrl" and "V" to past

let me know how you get on

Morning Manda

Morning Intern

Well done you.

So you worked out how to swich it on and off then

The cut and paste is easy when you get used of it. Mind it took me some time to work that one out

If you follow mandas instructions you wont find it a problem.

Did you know that they now have step by step guides from your locan newsagents thats just started for new pc users.
May be a good idea to buy,

But we are are here anyway to help you out.


I personaly recomend the Yahoo mail but Hotmail a lot of people do use too

Good luck and happy playing with your new toy

"So you worked out how to swich it on and off then" - not such a joke given a workpace survey which revealed that many office workers did not know how to turn their computer on or off.

Strictly speaking what Manda has listed are copy and paste rather than cut and paste.

CTRL plus X is how you copy something while deleting it too (ie cut it) or you can press DEL or use the delete option from the right-click menu while something is highlighted. Then you can paste it elsewhere to move things around.

However, most of the time (ie when copying from other people whose stuff you can't delete!), copy and paste is the right combination.

yeh now im more confuised than ever ill try that

well what can I say!!!!! thanks for the welcome back nice to see everyone is as hospitable as ever.

INTERN your soon pick it up trust me if i can you should have no problem at all.


LOCK_N_LOAD Welcome Back

Good morning Manda
Hope today finds you well?

Hi Angel

everything is just fine, I hope you are well

I wonder how Intern is getting on with his PC

manda

Im not to bad thanx Manda

Yeh i was wo9ndering that myself.
Hes probally off somewhere haveing a play

I don't think we will see he much now

but then I was the same when I first had mine

manda

You could be right.
I will give him a ear bashing if he deserts us

To be honest i wasnt to bad had a little explore but nothing major.
Its good for looking up information.

My son uses the pc for home work a lot. he used go the libary.

We find it good for crosswords as well, mostly when we are trying to find the name of a actor,

I wonder if he has got a messanger yet,
Have you tryed the ICQ one, I have only just started to use it, what I like about it is that you can leave a message for someone even if they are off line, and it will deliver it as soon as they log on

manda

I realy couldnt say i thought he may have asked us by now to help set it up

I only use the yahoo and its same as for leaveing messages
I think thats more than enough for me to deal with

I have got yahoo, but I don't use it a lot,
I didn't know that you can leave a message on there if someone is off lne, I will have to have a look at that

manda

Yeh you can its the only one ive ever used.
I only go on every so often to get my off line messages i dont realy bother with it.

One more day and i should be back on the PC...

The Yahoo Messenger does allow for offline messages [] but once you exit they get deleted...

Talk soon... I'm having a full week off starting Monday... So i will take the opportunity to re-organise my online life once and for all... then i will/should be able to be around more often... at last

Happy New Year everyone!!!!
