Copy &
Paste E-mail Messages
Some
times you may want to type a message before you e-mail it, so
that you have more time to get the message just right. Just use
your favorite word processing program or NOTEPAD, and create the
message to your liking. Now save the message for future use.
Most
all windows applications (programs) have an EDIT menu. When you
click on the EDIT menu, a drop down list appears, which includes
COPY and PASTE.
COPY
takes what ever is selected (highlighted) and copies it to an
invisible place called the windows clip board. This is a temporary
storage area in memory, and once you copy something there, it
will remain there until you either copy something new on top of
it, or you shut down Windows.
PASTE
takes whatever you have residing in the windows clip board, and
copies it to the place you have selected. So basically, COPY loads
stuff into the windows clip board, and PASTE places a copy of
that same stuff, somewhere else. The windows clip board can be
pasted over and over again in different locations, until the contents
are changed or until the computer is shut down.
Let
us assume for the moment that you have just started NOTEPAD and
have loaded that message that you prepared earlier. Use your mouse
to select all the words you want to copy (highlight the words),
and then click EDIT/COPY and you wont see any change, but now
the windows clip board holds a copy of your selected words.
Now
close the NOTEPAD application, start your browser application,
and go to the website and open the e-mail form that you want to
use. Now select the message box on that form, and click EDIT/PASTE
on your browser, and SURPRISE!, the text which is still in the
windows clip board has now been pasted into the message box of
your browser form.
Now
simply complete filling out the remainder of the e-mail form,
and then submit the form. Your carefully edited message has now
been sent to the recipient.
