Copying Information from Netscape Navigator

Let’s say you have a project to submit. The subject is Red Racing Cars. You have used the search engines to find the information you need for your assignment. Now, how do you get the information over to your document without retyping it OR by printing it off the way it is. If you were to print it, then you will get a lot of wasted paper. The ideal way would be to “copy” only the portion of the text you want over to your word processor program... BUT, be sure to credit the source! To do this, you would have to:

1.

Open Navigator

2.

Use a “search” to find any web sites on red racing cars

3.

Bookmark any sites that you find to be useful

4.

Go back to any of these sites and now we need to copy information over to our document.

5.

Leave Netscape open

6.

Open Microsoft Word – you should see the two program buttons on the Task Bar. You can use your mouse to click between the two programs.

7.

Click on the Netscape button on the task bar

8.

Click and drag over the text that you want to copy

9.

Click on Edit, on the Menu, select Copy OR
    Just hold down the Ctrl key and type the letter C for copy.

10.

Now, click on the program Word’s button on the Task Bar.

11.

Position your cursor where you want the text to appear.

12.

Click on Edit, on the Menu, select Paste OR
    Just hold down the Ctrl key and type the letter V for paste.

13.

Please note, Pictures will not copy over in this method. To copy a picture, you would have to right click on the picture and save it, then put it in your document. That is not within the scope of this lesson, but if you want to try, go ahead.
