@tonys wanted to quickly add that you are doing great job with the technology side of things. It can be difficult for everyone & intimidating!

 

I am usually writing letters from my phone.

 

Occasionally, I will use the computer. Because I am not used to it, I will have to re learn the websites & computer functions etc. I guess I am lucky that I am a quick learner. Although, I do tend to overlook very obvious details sometimes.

 

A disadvantage of being a quick learner is that my mind wants to go at a very fast pace all the time. Similar to your editing error with the fork, spoon etc - I will stare at mistake & try to solve it 10 times, before I see what is now obvious to me! 

 

Perhaps in a way, I can relate to the effort & confidence it takes to be brave & overcome some of life's silly setbacks.

 

You really are doing phenomenal in my opinion!

 

Oh, yes, I also agree that copy and paste might be a valuable tool for you to learn.

 

I'm not sure if I can explain it well.

This link might help.

 

Brief explanation:

 

Double click left mouse button and highlight text.

 

Now you might have two options.

 

You can follow instructions on video 

Eg 

Control + C        to copy 

Control +V         to paste     

 

 

 

 

Or ...

 

Once you have the text highlighted.

 

You can try pressing Right mouse button.

 

A little menu will come up with various options.  

 

Click on word copy.

 

Now your text is copied.

 

 

Then....

Go into another program or page - the place that you want to put the copy.

 

(You might have to click left mouse button first on this new program - to get the little cursor thing flashing)

 

 

Then you can either do what the video says & press 

Control + V        to paste.

 

 

Or......

If you Right click your mouse button. The same little menu will come up again & you can click on the word 'paste.'

 

 

Here is another video that might help

Take your time & have a go. I'm hoping my explanation could be useful. I think you will work it out & feel free to ask questions.

 

I'm not the best at computers! Maybe some other members can explain better also if you have trouble.
