Now while holding down the CTRL key first - Hit C
that will copy all the highlighted text into your computer's invisible "clipboard" or memory.

Now you can PASTE it anywhere you want. To PASTE the copied text to any program, email, or word processor:
Click the mouse cursor where you want to copy the text to, then:

Again while holding down the CTRL key first - Hit V to paste it.

So to paste or copy it into your email program, for instance - start a new email...(you can do almost anything and the test or picture copied stays in the computer's CLIPBOARD or memory) now with the cursor in the email message where you want to PASTE- press CTRL then V to paste the paragraph.

The copied text or pictures or whatever, will stay in your computer's memory until you turn off the computer - or copy something else to the clipboard. You can run any program, or switch to any window, and still the contents of the clipboard will be there. So you can CTRL V or paste it again anywhere.
