How Do I Copy Text And Images?

Downloading text and images from the Internet is very easy. By following the steps listed below, you will be on your way to copying text and images from Web.

Step 1
Open the document into which you want to insert the text or images.

Step 2
Go to the Web site and highlight the area that you want to retrieve.

Step 3
Using the keyboard, simply press Control C (Command C on a Mac) to copy the image or text.

Step 4
Now you can go back to the documents you prepared in step 1.

Step 5
Position your cursor where you want to insert the material and press Control V (Command V on a Mac) to paste in the text or image. (You can also use the Copy and Paste buttons under the Edit menu at the top of your screen.)

Taking a picture of the whole screen

If you want to take a picture of the whole screen -- also called a screenshot -- follow the same procedure. But instead of highlighting the area, you should make sure you have the screen positioned exactly where you want it and then press the PrintScreen command. You can then paste the image where you want it. (On a Mac, Command 3 will take a full screenshot; Command 4 allows you to "crop" the image and make it smaller.)
