Copy and Paste make playing wiki games Much easier for yourself and your opponent. It is very useful in Copying game Links and Game#s, among other things.

There are at least 3 ways to Copy and Paste. I find the first two methods easiest.

Mouse Method
First, highlight what you want to copy by pressing the left mouse button and dragging it across whatever it is you want to copy. (I find starting at the End of what you want to copy is easier) And for you computer newbies, highlighting something will Not change anything.
Right click inside the highlighted area. This gives you a drop down box.
Select Copy.
Click where you want it to go.
Then Right click in the same place. This gives you a drop down box.
Select Paste.

Keyboard Method
First, highlight what you want to copy by pressing the left mouse button and dragging it across whatever it is you want to copy. (I find starting at the End of what you want to copy is easier) And for you computer newbies, highlighting something will Not change anything.
Press and hold the CTRL button then press c button while holding the CTRL button. (copy)
Click where you want it to go.
Press and hold the CTRL button then press v button while holding the CTRL button. (paste)
Don't hold the CTRL+v buttons down too long or you will get multiple pastes.

Edit Method
This one depends a little on what browser you are using. I use FireFox. The 'File' and 'Edit' may located differently in your browser, but will be similar.

First, highlight what you want to copy by pressing the left mouse button and dragging it across whatever it is you want to copy. (I find starting at the End of what you want to copy is easier) And for you computer newbies, highlighting something will Not change anything.
Click on File. for FireFox, click on FireFox and you get a drop down box.
You will see an italicized Edit
Next to it are 3 icons and an arrow.
The icon with 2 'pages' is the copy one. Click on this one. OR Click on the Arrow and select Copy.
Click where you want it to go.
Click on File. for FireFox, click on FireFox and you get a drop down box.
You will see an italicized Edit
The clipboard icon is the paste one. Click on this one. OR Click on the Arrow and select Paste.

The mouse method is my favourite, as there's almost no thinking involved. Jester
