WOW! Thanks Chasem and Mike. I had no idea! Still, I'm not sure that using those key combinations is any quicker, or easier, for me than using the drop down menu from 'Edit' at the top of my screen. As it is, I am never very happy with cutting and pasting - once I have cut, and the text disappears from my screen, I am secretly convinced that it has gone forever!! Whenever possible, I tend to 'copy', then I know the original still exists!

Having taught myself to use my PC, almost entirely without assistance and by trial and error at that (indeed, that's why I am with AOL for my internet connection!), there must be dozens of similar 'hints and wrinkles' such as the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V that I know not of. I may be happy in my ignorance but is there a list of them available to the likes of me, that anyone knows of?
