Weekly tech tip #3: Copy/Cut/Paste - CTRL-C/X/P

There are many ways to copy and paste on a computer. You can select the content you want to copy and then right-click and choose cut or copy and then move to were you want to paste and then right-click and choose paste. You can also select the content and then use the  edit menu.
Probably the quickest way is to use the Control (CTRL) keyboard commands after selecting your content. CTRL-C to copy or CTRL-X to cut and then CTRL-V to paste.
On a related note, to select content you can also use the keyboard. Holding the Shift key down while moving the arrow keys will select an area of text. Double-clicking on a word will select the word. Triple clicking will select the paragraph.
Holding the Shift key while selecting will allow you to select a range of items from the first place clicked to the last. Holding the CTRL key down while clicking on a list will allow you to select multiple individual items.
