Why make things difficult. Put the cursor on the first letter of the
sentence or paragraph that you want to copy, hold down the shift key and
press the down arrow until the text you want to copy is highlighted in
black, if you want to shift the cursor to the left to include a few more
words, hit the left arrow. Click the mouse on edit (File, Edit, mailbos
etc), and move the mouse to copy, hit the left mouse button and it is copied
to the clipboard. Go to where you want it to be copied, put the cursor on
the spot you want to copy the text to , click on edit again, move the mouse
to paste and click the left button. Done. After you know how to do it with
the arrows and shift keys, you should be able to do the whole thing with the
mouse. hope this helps.
