I often get a message that says that I can copy and paste
the address into my web browser. How do I do this.
Thank You

Where are you getting this message from? I only ask because there are many nasties
around these days and you may copy/paste your way into a deep cow patch.

Copy/paste can be done in several different ways. I'm missing one or maybe other
ways below, the one I know of is double clicking the word or next to the url in the
address bar to hilite, then use any of the copy/paste versions.
#1 is the quickest:
Press CTRL+A------This will hilite all
Press CTRL+C------This will copy all that's hilit
Press CTRL+V------This will paste all that was copied
#2:
Press the left mouse button once at the beginning of the text to be copied.-----This
places the blinking cursor at the beginning of the text to be copied.
Move the mouse pointer to the end of the text to be copied, press/hold down the Shift
key and left click.-----This will hilite all the selected text to be copied.
Use CTRL+C to copy
Use CTRL+V to paste
#3:
Press/hold down the left mouse button and drag it over the text to be
copied.-----This will hilite all selected text to be copied.
Use CTRL+C to copy
Use CTRL+V to paste
#4:
Press/hold down the CTRL key and click on a line or paragraph of text.-----This will
highlite the line or paragraph of text to be copied. It only hilites to the point
where the Enter key was used to begin a new line or paragraph.
Use CTRL+C to copy
Use CTRL+V to paste
#5:
Hilite the text to be copied in any of the 4 ways explained above.
Right click once on the page.
Click on Copy in the popup menu.
In the program/application you want to copy the text, right click and click on Paste
in the popup menu.
#6:
In the program/application you want to copy the text from, hilite the text to be
copied in any of the 4 ways explained above.
Go to Edit on the menu bar at the top of the program/app and click on Copy.
In the program/application you want to paste the text into.
Go to Edit on the menu bar at the top of the program/app and click on Paste.
Pictures/graphics can all be copied/pasted in the same manner. If you ever need to
move text or a graphic in an program/app/document that you created. Cut instead of
Copy. The hotkeys for cut are CTRL+X. Cut is also in the right click popup menu and
in the edit menu. Once Cut, Paste where needed.

Highlight the address by clicking the left mouse button
at one end of the address. Keep holding down the button
while you move your mouse so the entire address is
highlighted. Let go of the left button.
With your arrow over the highlighted text, press the
right mouse button. A menu should appear - select copy.
Now put your cursor in the web browser and press the
right mouse button again - select paste. Cake.
