@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.
