Let me start by saying I am by no means anywhere near a "computer jock"...e-mail is a major accomplishment for me...that being said I have a question on copying material. Lots of good questions and answers here on the Forum. Sometimes I'd like to copy answers or photos for my file but can't seem to find "copy" anywhere on the format. Am I missing something or is that intentional? thx. Billu38

If you left click on the start of the text you want to copy and then drag to highlight it all and finally right click on the highlighted text a box will appear where you can click on "copy". Open another program and paste the text in it.

Or if you want an image of the whole screen press Print Scrn. That will place a .jpg image of what's showing on your screen onto the clipboard. You can then paste it into any software that will import a .jpg image and save it on your computer. If you use Windows, Paint works well if your don't have Irfanview.

I'm in the same boat. If you want a hard copy (because I don't have the skills to create a file) look for the word "file"either at the top or bottom of your computer screen and click on it. A drop down menu will appear and it will allow you to preview anything you intend to print. If you like what you see, click print and it should go directly to your printer.If you have multiple printers, it may ask you to pick which one you want to use. Providing that you have access to a printer. I like this way because I can have the paper work close at hand for referance when in the garage.
