ENG 101 Online
Copy and Paste Help

Begin by opening both your word processor and your Web browser. Note that in order for these instructions to work, you must be using a PC running either Windows 3.x or Win95 or a Macintosh running at least System 7.

  1. Go to your word processor and write your paper, formatting it according to the online style sheet. Once the text is in its final form, make sure you have saved it to disk.
  2. Find the "Edit" drop-down menu in your word processor and click on it.
  3. Find the "Select" option and click on "Select All." The specifics of this step may vary from one word processor to the next. Just find the combination of menu options that allows you to select, or "highlight," the entire document.
  4. Once you have selected the document, click on the "Edit" drop-down menu again.
  5. Find the "Copy" option and click on it. This copies the contents of your word processing file into a temporary buffer.
  6. Now, go to your Web browser and open the Paper Submission Page.
  7. Put your full name in the "Name" box.
  8. Click the mouse in the "Paper" box so that the cursor is blinking within that box.
  9. Find the "Edit" drop-down menu on your browser and click on it.
  10. Find the "Paste" option and click on it.
  11. The text of your paper should now be in the "Paper" box. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Submit Paper" button.
  12. You paper will be mailed to the course instructor.

Note: This procedure can also be used with the Web Board. The only difference is that the message will be posted to the Web Board rather than emailed to the instructor.
