How to Copy & Paste
&/or Get Pictures off of your Digital Camera

The difference between Copy and Cut are:

• Copy leaves the original file(s)
• Cut REMOVES the original file(s) and moves them to a new location.

How To Copy/Paste

1. Find what you want to copy... maybe digital pictures by double clicking on My Computer or My Documents and "drilling down" to the location where the "original" files exist.
    
2. Select what files you want to copy by: (pick one method)
    
   • To select every file in a folder/directory click Edit, Select All (or CTRL - A)
      
   • To Select several files (not in any special order) Single left mouse click on one of the files to copy, then Press and hold the CTRL key (don't remove your finger or you will have to re-select everything) and then single left click on each additional file/picture that you want to select/copy.
      
   • To Select several files (in order in your list) Single left mouse click on the first file to copy, then Press and hold the Left Shift key (don't remove your finger or you will have to re-select everything) and then slide down to the last file to select, and Single left mouse click on that.  All files in the middle should now be selected/highlighted.
      
3. Remove your fingers from any keys press in step 2.
    
4. Click Edit, Copy and it will seem like nothing happened but the selected files are now copied into the computers "clipboard" for use in the next step.
    
5. Now change to location or folder you want to "paste" your files/pictures you copied to clipboard.  For example "My Pictures."  Here you can also create a new folder for your files by clicking File, New Folder and then typing in a name for your new folder.
    
6. Next, double click on the folder you want to paste your files to (to make sure you are pasting to the right place.)
    
7.  Click Edit, Paste (or CTRL - V)
    
8. You will see the files show up.
