Cut Copy Paste Page of the WebTV Users Guide









You ever miss-pell something before our wonderful spelling update?
GOOD if you can delete you can c c p!
Put the cursor in the first text box above.
Is the cursor still blinking, good! if it is not push the space bar or edit key untill it blinks.

Hold the CMD key down with one finger and using other hand push the A key. Alright! Everyword is HIGHLIGHTED! Good.

Keeping the Cmd key down push the C key hear that Cuhlick sound? youve just used the only accessible memory webtv has!

Now move the cursor to the empty box >>>WAAAYYY at the bottom of the page :) (Is the cursor blinking?) and with one light tap push the V key. Shazam! you just copied and pasted what you copied to a different place. Great!

To recap everything that was highlighted was copied CMD+A copies all!
What about CUT?
well that only works in places like text boxes or file editors of web pages, or in the box you put your signature codes in for your Emails, or Emails as you write them, not when you read them

If you say, wanted to move a paragraph You could Cut and then Paste it in a different location without all that typing!

Go to the bottom box hit CMD and A and then X and voila text is gone and still in memory! Have some fun put it back, take it out!
Hold on! Text boxes are not emails most of what I want to copy I cannot put my cursor where I want it! I have tried!

Okay no problem! push the find key or (CMD+F key) and put in one of the words from the sample text (hey I know its blocking your view so go ahead and take another look at those words, no one is watching!)
Now push Find on Page button and the word you wanted is highlighted and therefore is ready to copy!
What you need more than one word? Hold shift and use the arrows up, down, left, and right to highlight the text>
only what you highlight can get copied.
The arrow keys all do something a bit different.
If you lose the highlight on a word and it is all ready on the find key push CMD+G and there it is highlighted again!
Ha got you I had "T his" from the first line chosen and now "T his" on the last line is chosen after I did what you said!

Why do you think it was there? Many times the first word of a sentence will be the SAME word.
Push CMD+B and you are _back_ at the first time a word is on the page! G(o) forward and B(ack).

Learning the up and down arrows is tricky while using shift key to highlight the text to copy.
Some tips choose an extra line of text above or below what you want to copy And run the cursor in the margin, until you have all info wanted to copy highlighted then CMD+C! CuhLick! Don't you love that sound?!
If you want only the first and third line of our example unless you make "two" trips just copy all three lines and then use highlight and cut on the email sheet you are copying to!

C C P memory is gone if you switch users or power off. So just c+p the info and mail it to the other user! Or to yourself then it can be in the mail's memory!

Some times people complain that after working on their sig-boxes that it takes foreever to get down to the send button, well they either hit scroll down or return WAY too many times CMD+A then CMD+X will tighten that sig-box right up!

I never heard about these CMD features any others?
A few, CMD+P will set up the print option (sorry, got to have a printer attached!)

Plus users can have 4 square inches of their screen blocked with CMD+W the tv p-i-p activates.

You can move TV p-i-p with CMD+M but it only goes where it will soon be in your way again.(to the right)

And there is CMD+R which will reload or "refresh" the page (that IRS man will keep coming back!

Doing CMD+power is the same as hangup on options.

CMD+Ctrl will show the addy of the link that your cursor is on
Try pushing cmd+ctrl on "unopened" email to see what number email it is for that user.

These I could not imagine being without!

CMD+-> (arrow right) will move cursor to the end of text on that line.

CMD+<- (arrow left) will move cursor back to beginning of line.

CMD+ scroll up will do so quickly!
CMD+ scroll down will do so, so fast
your cursor will lag behind!

>>>NOTE! do not use scroll up or down with or without CMD in your sig box!<<<
Hope this made sense!
