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.
Use the delete key - this will delete the character to the right 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.
The scenic route - select the text, wander on up to EDIT, mosey on down to DELETE and stop for a cup of coffee somewhere.
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
