    When I tried to Copy and Paste a story this morning I could not. I tried a number of sites but could not Copy and Paste on any of them. Any Help would be appreciated.

    Do you mean you couldn't Copy from, or you couldn't Paste to...or both?

    What means do you use to copy...How do you usually select your text or images?

    Are you able to select and copy text that you have typed yourself?

    Sorry about the questions, but need a little more info..

    In the past when I wanted to Copy and Paste I clicked on the 1st letter of the text, held down the Shift Key, scrolled down to the last letter of the text and then clicked Copy. Now, all of a sudden, this method does not work for me.

    If the problem is in selecting the text to be copied, try doing it on other web sites. Also instead of using the Shift key, try dragging your mouse cursor over the text to be copied.

    Somethine else you can try is using another browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.
