There are three ways you can do this in Windows, using your mouse, keyboard commands, or Menu bars, which requires a combination of both.
Using the Mouse
This way can be the easiest of the three.
All you have to do is use the cursor to highlight the text that you want to copy. Then, hover over any portion of the highlighted text and right-click. From the drop-down menu that appears, choose Copy.
Of course, you can do the same thing with images and files. Simply press the left button on your mouse and pull the cursor over the files that you want to copy to highlight them. Following the previous steps, select Copy.
After that, go to the location where you’d like to paste this content. Right-click in an empty area of the destination, then pick Paste.
Using Keyboard Commands
If your mouse isn’t working properly at the moment, you can use your keyboard alone to Copy and Paste.
Use the arrows to navigate the text that you’d like to copy. When you’re ready to start highlighting it, press Shift and move with the arrows until you’ve selected all the needed text.
After that, press Ctrl+C to copy it.
Go to the document where you need to paste this text, then press Ctrl+V.
When copying files or images using this method, use the Tab button to go from one file to another instead of arrows. You can follow the same steps that we’ve mentioned above to Copy and Paste those files.
Using the Menu Bar
In some programs like Microsoft Word, you’ll find Copy and Paste commands within their Menu bars. Of course, you’ll still need to use the mouse or keyboard to select the text that you want to copy.
When you’re done selecting the text, go to the Edit or Home menus on the application’s Menu Bar. From the drop-down menu, choose Copy.
Ready to paste this text? Simply go to the same bar that you’ve used moments ago and select Paste.
