How To Copy And Paste From A Word Processor

You can copy and paste text right into your notes input box when you login to Create Notes. This is helpful if you want to spell-Check your notes first. Simply open your document in one window and your school notes browser logged in to Create Notes in another window. High-light the text from the document, click copy and then switch over to the browser window and click inside the notes input box, then go up to the Edit function of the browser and select paste.

Clip-art and special fonts will NOT be copied, only text. Also, some browsers, such as AOL, may not support the paste function and you should try using CONTROL-V (holding down the "Ctrl key and then pressing the "V" key) to paste.
