I havent seen this mentioned anywhere else so you can cut me 'ead orft if it has.. It has aggravated me that there is no paste icon and we have to use ctrl & v..which doesnt always work first time and then sometimes if you get mad at it you end up stuttering.. So One day I right clicked unintentionally and got a menu with PASTE in it--used that and hey presto the pasted article appeared . Now tell me you havent been keeping that a secret from me ?

Yes, the mystic art of the right mouse button - a useful trick in lots of circumstances
I know several people who genuinely thought it was for left handed computer users ![/size][/font]

And surprise, surprise. You can actually copy something using the same "right click". That's been there for years and years too. Of course you do have to highlight it first, but yep, it's there. Isn't technology wonderful?
And don't you fret the least little bit. I'm sure there are a lot more people out there who are not aware of that functionality.

Perhaps because I have mainly C&P'd in msn I have had the late awakening--when there is a paste icon the right click doesnt work .although I have always used the right click to copy !!! I knew I wasnt altogether gormless !!

Another useful 'right click' option that is available if you have the Google tool bar installed is you can highlight text in a web page, right click and select 'Search for'......and Google returns the results straight away.
