Help:Copying and Pasting into a Wiki Page

Keystrokes to cut and paste information into a wiki page. The mouse doesn't always work!

Modern Web browser software has security settings that often disallow users from cutting and pasting text into a wiki page. However, using these keystrokes, you can get the job done:


 * Copy: CTRL-C
 * Cut: CTRL-X
 * Paste: CTRL-V

So to copy text from, say, a Word document into a wiki page, you would highlight the text you want to copy, hold down the CTRL key while pressing the C key, place your cursor in the wiki page, and hold down the CTRL key while pressing the V key.

The copy and paste process is cleaner in the Firefox browser than in Internet Explorer. Firefox gives fewer formatting surprises than IE.
