Copy-Pasting Text Into ChatSpace

WINDOW PREPARATION:

First you need to open a second browser window for the opening and closing text files. You do this by clicking on the FILE menu item in the top menu bar of your browser window and then clicking NEW - WINDOW. You will now have two browser windows open, both of which will show up on your Windows task bar.

Then in the 2nd window go to the appropriate page for the text files (under Service Files in the left side navigation frame on this page). You might want to bookmark or add these pages to your Favorites.

Now back in the first window (you can call it to the front by clicking on its button on your task bar), log on to the chat room then FLOAT the chat window. When the chat window opens you can then minimize the original window, leaving the 2nd window open. You should be able to see both the text files and the chat window at the same time.

By resizing the two open windows with your mouse pointer, you can arrange these windows so that you will always be able to see at least a portion of both at the same time and can go back and forth between the two just by clicking on them.

COPY-PASTE FUNCTIONS:

First you select the type that you wish to paste by clicking anywhere in the line of text and then TRIPLE clicking with your left mouse button. This should highlight the entire paragraph. If the triple-click method does not highlight the entire paragraph, you can select the copy by clicking in front of the first letter of the paragraph, hold your mouse button down and dragging to the end of the paragraph.

After the text is selected you can copy it into your computer's invisible "clipboard" by holding down the Control button and hitting the C key. (Ctrl-C) Tip: hold down the Control key with your left little finger and tap the C key with your index finger.

Then you click anywhere you want to paste the text (in this case the TYPE HERE box on the Chat Room) and then hold down the Control key and hit the V key. (Ctrl-V).

To copy and paste an entire paragraph of text into the chat room is:

Triple Click
Ctrl-C
Click in Type Here Box
Ctrl-V
That's it!

PRACTICE

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please ask! You can always go into the chat room when there is no meeting and practice. If you run into any problem or have any questions, just ask another member of ORCA to help. We were all beginners at this at one point!

Thank you, for your willingness to serve!
