Odd cut and paste problem

[Pudsey Bear]

Liz mentioned this yesterday but when I tried the normal right click on the pad it just pasted as normal so I left it, but it just did it again.



So I've sorted it but never seen this on any other browser, and as I say it's a new thing, possibly a MS update caused it.

The cure:-

Troubleshoot copy and paste errors in Office for the web - Microsoft Support

support.microsoft.com

Just for the record, Linux probably won't run MSN or outlook.

That’s been about for as long as I remember Kev. There are a lot more of you like using shortcuts, just Google windows shortcut keys should give you them

I know most of the Neil already, but Liz is a bit dumb on the puters, never goes into anything, just emails and Chrome, I and up having to sort it out, she's only recently mastered pasting URLs into emails, so she's streets ahead of the little Irish chap

 

[nabsim]

I used to use a lot of shortcuts when working but have forgotten most now. Then again I only fired up my windows laptop last year to update it. Getting as bad with the Mac, months since I have turned it on. Just using iPad and phone nowadays

I got to know most of the DOS command line stuff as it was often easier than using Windows 3 etc, Dir/w/o etc

Which I read this morning is being deleted for Win 11, which is a real shame.

I have noticed that sometimes the copy and paste with the mouse buttons don't always work and have to use the Control-C and Control-V keys. And sometimes Mouse Copy doesn't work but Mouse Paste does. Not found a pattern to when it works and when it doesn't work.

PS. When "WYSIWYG" (who remembers THAT phrase? ) versions of Programmes such as WordPerfect and Wordstar came in, the keyboard short-codes still worked alongside the menu pull-downs and MS Word (which was always WYSIWYG I think?) copied all the Wordstar key commands (I was a big Wordstar fan and I used to get every new version sent to me to test )

What you see is what you get not here that, RIRO & CICO too

Anyone use the ASCI codes?

It can run everything, including a bathtube to wash that dirty windows garbage out of ones head.
WE use screen shot in linux which will capture anything on the screen.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Yes, but it's crap Trev, I know it & you know it, a link gives you the FULL info a screenshot does not and the above is photo not a screenshot anyway.

 

[trevskoda]

Here you go of a screen full shot.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Of no use though, a link gives you the full web page with all the attending links, a screen shot can be useful, but if you want the real info it doesn't provide any more than what is on the screen.

I am certain that you could do it, and you're not as simple as you like us to think.

On my Chromebook which I think is Linux but not sure, it works the same way as in windows, I tap the url, I right click and select copy or use Control + C then in a thread reply box I click in the box and I right click again and choose Paste or use Control + V.

Be a good lad and try that and I shall send you a gift if you succeed..

Of no use though.

You can snip any screen picture.

You can snip any screen picture.

But a picture is not worth a link; indeed, a thousand pictures are not worth a link.

A link instead of images of eBay items that you recommend (for example).

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Or a link to a particular post

A link tells you where the whatever is, you can buy from a link, a picture is just a picture.

 

[trevskoda]

Ok got you now, brain on other things last few days.

You would post this



Which makes it quite difficult for anyone to find.

The rest of us would post the web address (link) that you can click on and go straight to it.
