    Hmmm like this
    Hold down the LEFT button and run the mouse pointer over what you want to copy, this highlights it.
    Then RIGHT click on the highlighted part.
    LEFT click copy.
    Go to where you want to paste it.
    LEFT click to bring up a cursor
    RIGHT click for menu
    LEFT click paste.

    Job done ;)

    Hi Crankie,

    Ben gave you one way. However, sometimes the right click doesn't work. If it doesn't you can try 2 other methods. For copy you can try Ctrl+C or Copy on the Edit menu. For Paste try Ctrl+V or Paste on the Edit menu.

    Okay I'm still having trouble with this. Ive done the right click method and the ctrl method. See Im trying to put something from another site on to my myspace page and so I can't just copy and then make a cursor and then paste it on the page because I have to close the page I'm getting the picture from to get to the page I want to paste it to in the first place and I believe this causes a problem. I don't know what's to do. I want to glitter thingy on my page. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
