2.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: They say, “Practice Makes Perfect!” That is how you will become an accomplished
computer user. Open a word processing program, say Microsoft Word. Open a blank sheet. Click
on the blank sheet and notice a cursor will start blinking. Type in a word, say your name. Let’s
copy your name. Highlight your name by putting the mouse on the right side of your name and
dragging to the left. Now you name is highlighted. Using your keyboard shortcuts, copy your
name. Then move the cursor forward and use your keyboard shortcuts to paste your name. Practice pasting your
name several times. Then use the keyboard shortcuts to “cut” your name. Then use the keyboard shorts to “undo”
the steps you have taken all along the way. Keep practicing!
