Instructions for copying text from a web page and pasting it into Word

You can selectively copy and paste relevant information from the web into a Word document. Again, you must always give credit to the source of the material.

Here is the procedure for copying text from a web page and pasting it into Word:

1. Highlight the text that you want to copy into Word with your mouse.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

3. Minimize the browser window and open Word.

4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste. The information maybe formatted strangely, but the text will be there.

5. To save the document select the File menu, choose Save. You will be prompted to select a saving location. Navigate to the Share Drive, locate and open the folder named “5^th Grade”, locate and open the folder named “your teacher’s name”, and finally locate and open the folder named “the wing where the text belongs”. The file automatically is given a filename. Sometimes the file name is too long or doesn’t make any sense. You can change it by highlighting in the filename box and giving it a new name.

6. Click Save.
