To use copy and paste for a block of text: Image Tutorial
Selecting/Highlighting text is very simple and easy but it does take some practice to select the right text sometimes. We will use what is called "click and drag".
Let's give it a try.
Left click in front of the text below and hold the left mouse button.
While holding the left click button, drag the mouse across the text.
Once the text is all highlighted, release the left mouse button.
"This looks like the perfect text to highlight. Someone should probably try
it. Stop Here"
Only printing certain text on a website or in a document: Image Tutorial
*I am up to my old tricks again. Guess what? No printer friendly version of this tutorial.
You will have to highlight the parts you want then only print that text.
Go to the start of the tutorial and "left click on the mouse
button and hold".
Drag down to the bottom of the tutorial (stop when you no longer want
to print that text).
Release the left mouse button.
Click on File.
Click on Print.
Click in the circle beside the "Selection option".
Click the Print button.
That's the lesson! Enjoy your printout!
