How to Copy and Paste

:-)
Here's how!
It's called the Copy/Cut and Paste method: 
You have in front of you on the screen the email that you want to send to your friends.
Do not hit the forward button.
While viewing your email, highlight, by holding down the left mouse button down while you drag your cursor over the photos, text or both that you want to copy.
The text or photos will have a blue color around them.

Try it on this text and you'll see what I mean. The highlighted text will turn a solid color, usually blue. This is what will be copied.
This will not only work for content in emails but web pages too. Just about anything that appears on your screen can be copied.

Now that it is highlighted, hold down the Control key (The Apple key on a Mac) on the keyboard and at the same time, press the letter "C" for copy.
(You can also right click on the selected text and select "copy" from the drop down menu) Now your selected content has been copied to your invisible
clipboard where it is saved until you copy over it.

Next select a blank email (compose or write). Put your cursor in the body of the email (It blinks). Now hold down the Control Key (The Apple key on a Mac)
and hit the letter "V" to insert it into your new email. (You can also right click and select paste from the drop down menu) Give it a try.
Practice will make you better understand how this works.

Next select your address book and use BCC, which stands for Blind Carbon Copy. Every program is different so you'll have to look for the BCC field which is
 usually where you put the email address in your composed email, always at the top. BCC will send your email to each person separately. Now, hit send and your done.

If you need to be shown how to do this, below is a video that will explain this in more detail.

Sending an email to everyone in your address book...
the right way.

BCC -- Blind Carbon Copy
BCC for Privacy!


Please don't put my email address in the "To" or "CC" fields of messages
being sent to people I don't know!

Please protect email addresses as you would phone numbers -- unlisted phone numbers.

There are several occasions when you might want to send an email to everyone in your address book. For instance, you've got a new email address, you want to send out a special invitation, you want to make an announcement, etc.

We're going to show you how to do this quickly and easily; and how to do this the right way so that the recipients of your email won't see all the other people you've sent it to.

Remember, it's common courtesy to keep your recipients E-mails private.  In addition, we can help stop the spread of E-mail Viruses and spam that continually plague all of us.

Have you ever thought about how many times your E-mail is exposed around the internet in one day because of a forwarded message -- It's several hundred thousand times. Think about how easy everyone makes it for the hackers & spammers to send you an infected file!
