Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | Need Help With New Computer=thanks Our son got us a new computer yesterday, I was using Netscape, this one is set up with Explorer, all of a sudden I feel like my brain is in a whirlwind, what I was capable of doing with my old pal I can't seem to figure out with this one. Son went home this morning so I am more less on my own now I replied to a posting earlier and wanted to delete some of it in quoting but was unable to figure out how to do that, copy paste delete, appreciate any help with that. Thanks a bunch, Patti I know this is going to be great once I get the basics of using explorer but oh my in the mean time I really feel like it is beyond my reach in getting going with it. |

Oh, forgot one more. To cut and paste, hit control x (cuts) and then control v (paste).

| Hi Patti Netscape and Internet Explorer are very similar to use, though they do look a bit different or even very different depending on how old your Netscape version was. I hope I understand your problem and I assume you have a Windows computer, if not, just ignore me. In Internet Explorer you would highlight/select the text you want to change in the way you would normally do it. If you are accustomed to using CTRL+ something you'll find the key combinations are identical. If you prefer to use the mouse rather than key combinations, select EDIT on the bar at the top. Because you've highlighted something you'll find COPY and CUT are now in black so you can click on either of those. Now put your (blinking) cursor at the place where you want to insert the text. Up to EDIT again and PASTE automagically is now black. When you want to delete anything you have several choices: Use the backspace key - this will delete the character to the left of the cursor.For big chunks of text you can go via: The freeway - select the text and press the delete key with a flourish. BUT you don't have to stick with Internet Explorer. You can also install the latest version of Netscape and choose which one you want to use. Edit: ah too late again, I talk too much |

Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | [QUOTE=alaskayorkie] They do the same thing, just in annoyingly different ways at first. That is for sure, I am finding that out. I used Netscape a long time. Oh, forgot one more. To cut and paste, hit control x (cuts) and then control v (paste). I am not doing something right on the x and v ( like copy and paste) how do I do that. I tried to get the information on Explorer but none came up on how to do that. Thanks again. Patti |

I will just stick to this, LOL, I guess I am one good for the saying, "Never to old to teach an old dog new tricks." Have several more with Explorer that I have tried to figure out but I think this old dog needs to get her zzzzzzz's refresh her brain for oh, oh, it is already today. Night everyone and thanks again.

| I'm not sure about all the contol stuff, but here's how I do it: I hold my left mouse key down and slide it over what I want highlighted and then let up. I point the arrow at the highlighted line or whatever is highlighted and right click on it. A box drops down and you can copy, paste, delete or whatever you want to do. I find the less steps I have to do is easiest. I use my mouse for most anything instead of hitting the keys.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I confess to hating "change". I went from Netscape to Exployer....hated it for the longest time. Finally got used to Exployer...now I don't even remember what I liked so much about Netscape.

Wow, just did all that , glad I asked this on YT you all have in less stress on the change over to Explorer I am so glad I asked you all here, I made yahoo email my home page, but now I think it should have been YT, as this is the first place I go when turning on my computer sooooo in saying that, I will go read our emails. Oh, I just learned another way, hi-light whatever I didn't want to type, hit the backspace once, whammy it is deleted. Gosh maybe a computer class would be great after all, that could be a suggestion to YT for a forum. Do you think that is a good suggestion? Have a nice day evryone. Patti |

The kind gentlemen at Microsoft have built in so many options and several ways to do each task, so that their software can be used successfully by as many people as possible - bless them. I covered just a couple of ways above and still produced a humonguously long message. Edit: Quote:

That was very nice of your son. I got the Sony Vaio 710 about a year ago, I'm still learning how to use it. All I really care about it getting on YT and my e-mail. Our boys can do all kinds of things on it, me, I'm lost. Best of luck with it, and have fun!!!! New computers are great, after you learn how they work.
