How to copy and paste

Quite often our customers would like us to make amendments to text within their website. This is occasionally just the odd word, or perhaps updating information which is no longer up to date.

The simplest way to get this done with the least margin for error is for you to copy the text from the page and then adjust it to how you want and email this new text to us. We find that this is the most effective way of getting these changes carried out.

However, we have also found that there are some people who don't how to copy and paste, so we have prepared some simple instructions.

Step one. Open your web browser and go to the page you want to copy the text from.

Step two. Open your email client and create a new email message.

If you click anywhere else within the internet browser window, you will de-select the text.

You may have trouble copying blocks of text which are in different parts of the page, especially if there are images in between. It is best, in these instances, to copy and paste each section separately.

Step five. On a PC, press and hold the 'Ctrl' key (at the bottom left corner of the keyboard) and then press the 'C' key. This will copy the text into what windows calls the clipboard. For a Mac, you press the 'Command' key and 'C'.

Step six. Go to your new email message. Left-click with the mouse into the message and hold the 'Ctrl' (or 'Command') key and then press the 'V' key. The text which you copied will then appear in the email message.
