Mouse clicks, copy and paste

Don't be afraid to try out the difference between left click and right click on your mouse.
Most of the time you will be using a left click or double left click to select or highlight or show the computer where you want to go or what you want to do.
Experiment with right clicking- this brings up a menu- try it now!

On the menu you will see
undo
cut
copy
paste
delete
select all
all these things can be very useful to you!
Copy and paste is the most useful and can be done with a right click.

Highlight the text or photo or internet address you want to copy
Right click and choose copy
Go to the place you want to copy to
Right click and choose paste
The text will then appear.

There are other ways of doing the same thing- by using the icons at the top of your screen or by using keyboard shortcuts- Control+C = copy and Control+V=paste.
