Know how to Copy & Paste? Know what the Clipboard is? If not, this page will try to break it down into step by step instructions.

The Clipboard is used to store temporary information, be it text, images, etc. You can not see it, there is no icon for it, its just a way to hold certain info to be used later.

Sites like ours, where you need to grab some type of html code to put in your own webpage needs a place to store this, that's what the clipboard is for.

Copy simply means you are putting info IN to the Clipboard and Paste means you are taking info OUT. So for example, you come to our site, find a video you like, you COPY the code to the Clipbaord, then go to Myspace, go to "Edit Profile" and PASTE the video codes into your page.

Ok so how is this done? We will walk you through the steps now...

HOW TO COPY
1. Whenever you use our search engine or code pages you will see boxes like the one below. These contain the HTML code you will need to COPY to put it on your own page.

This is sample html code that you will want to copy and paste

2. Our site makes things a little easier in that it automatically highlights ALL the text in the box for you, some sites do not. Go ahead and click your left mouse button into the box, to see what we mean.

3. Now that the text is highlighted, you have 2 choices to COPY. You can use your Mouse or Keyboard. To use your mouse, click the right button when it is over the highlighted text, a menu will appear.

You will see an option called COPY. Move the pointer down to it and click the left button, now the HTML code is COPIED to the clipboard. To use the keyboard, highlight the text, then hold down the <CTRL> key (bottom left of keyboard) and while holding it down, hit the C key at the same time. The code is now in the Clipboard.

Both options work exactly the same, its just depends on what feels more comfortable. Many users, once they get use to it, use the keyboard as it is a bit faster once you get the hang of it.

For sites that do not automatically highlight the text, follow the same steps but when you first click in the box, use the mouse menu option "Select All" or the keyboard <CTRL> A then follow the same steps as above.

HOW TO PASTE
1. Now that the code is in the Clipboard, go to the page where you want to insert the HTML code, we will use the box below for testing.



2. Click into the box and again you can use the Mouse or Keyboard. To use the mouse, click the right mouse button and select the menu option Paste or to use the keyboard use <CTRL> V. Test it out in the box above.

Now wasn't that easy? Now you know HOW to Copy & Paste and use the Clipboard!
