Pasting typed written material onto Microsoftword.

I am writing a book.  I wish copy a paper and have it pasted onto another computer with Microsoft Word.  The problem has to do with what is scanned.  When I paste the printed page, the words from the report are altered.  They do no make any sense.  It appears that I am going to have to retype the report so that I can use the information in my book.

    I am writing a book.  I wish to copy a paper I wrote 3 years ago and have it pasted onto another computer with Microsoft Word.  The problem I have has to do with what is scanned.  When I paste the printed page, the words from the original report are altered.  They do not make any sense.  It appears that I am going to have to retype the report so that I can use the information in my book.  I was hoping to not work as much using the scanner.

Unable to upgrade it to Window-10 for Gateway DX4885. It throws an error while installing the update

Copy and paste the following link into your web browser:
https://www.alphr.com/upgrade-windows-8-1-to-windows-10/

Windows 8 is 'old hat' now and you may have difficulty in upgrading, if it is actually still possible.

Your computer is old? There's (old) 32 bit computers and more modern 64 bit computers. An operating system is designed for either 32 bit or 64 bit.

What you can try is another OS such as Linux. Run it as a 'live version' to see if you like it before you install/use it. All you need is a usb drive or dvd that can be written to.
1. Download rufus
https://rufus.en.lo4d.com/windows

2. Download a Linux iso image - such as Desktop Ubuntu (it will download into the downloads folder)
https://ubuntu.com/#download

3. Insert the USB drive into your computer

4.Open rufus - navigate to the download folder and install Ubuntu onto the USB drive. (simply copying and pasting the files will NOT work. You have to make a bootable USB. Rufus does this for you.

You now have a portable OS on a USB.

5. Restart your PC and open the bios settings. Navigate to the boot sequence and change the first boot device to USB. Press F10 and exit. Your PC will then restart and run Linux from the USB. No changes are made to your computer.

You can either run Linux 'live' from USB or click on the desktop icon which says install onto computer.
............................................................................................
If you wish - instead of putting Linux Ubuntu onto USB you can burn the downloaded .iso file onto dvd and choose cd/dvd drive as first boot device.

Again, simply copying and pasting the Linux image onto dvd will not work. You must make it bootable. I you don't have the software try installing k3b:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/k3b/

It's all actually quite easy to do.

How to make report and if I need to copy and paste of the internet

Copying and pasting on a Mac is similar to copying and pasting on a PC, except for Mac user's use the Command key instead of Control.

Using Command + C for copy and Command + V for paste will allow you to copy and paste from a webpage into a document.

All new Macs come with a free copy of Pages (similar to Word), Keynote (Powerpoint) and Numbers (Excel). This will allow you to create just about any type of document. The help menus built into the programs are extremely intuitive.

Hope this helps!

I now have Works, rather than Word on my computer. I also now have Hotmail rather than OutLook Express . . . which both are a heartache to me. One reason is that I used to be able to highlight and drag...

Highlighting is similar to cutting the portion of text to be pasted at an alternative area on the page displayed. Right clicking on the portion of text should generate the features list to cut text as copies to be later pasted onto another area. A situation where text cutting or copying is achievable though does to allow to paste on the same area has alternate capabilities of achieving success. Cut the email text required paste to an opened empty Microsoft word document to edit into desired specifications. Usually, the email has least capacity to allow several functions all at once. A cut text may be possible least allowing pasting since the program is still in enable mode until uncut is achieved. For example, cut the portion required to paste on clipboards or Microsoft word document. Once the text that was cut is pasted elsewhere, the function of cut has been disabled. Returning to the email area requiring pasting should be achievable with an open display area requesting a past feature. In which instance, the open Microsoft document contains the copy that would provide display to the email section requesting displays.

How do i get music on my nextbook3 /android.

You can copy music onto it using the usb cable.
Connect the unit to your computer through the USB cable and then copy music files from your computer to the unit.
The unit should come up in your computer/my computer
and then you should be able to select your music that on your computer by copyinh and pasting it.

If you have an SD-Card and computer with a SD-Card reader you can copy music using that. Just put the SD-Card in reader and copy the music onto it.

M. Works won't let me paste anything onto document f/the Int.

After copying the contents you need go to edit on microsoft works and click on paste special. A small window should open asking you to select from three options. Click on unformatted unicode text then click ok. That should do it. Although italics and bold letters come out as regular print like the rest it does paste all that you've copied. This usually happens when you haven't updated your internet. After updating mine I no longer needed to do this process again.

Pasteing and how it works

If you mean pasting in relation to cut / copy & pasting

How it works
When you cut or copy something, for example text, it is saved into the clipboard. Then when you paste, the text that is in the clipboard gets pasted. You can paste that same text more than once, it stays in the clipboard until it is over written (by cutting ot copying something else) or you restart your PC.

How to use it
There is a couple of ways to cut / copy & paste

1. Use right clicking menu
you can select something, some text for example, then right click on it with your mouse and select Cut or Copy. To paste right click where you want the text to be pasted and select Paste

2. Use application's Edit drop down menu
you can select something, some text for example, then select the application's Edit drop down menu and select Cut or Copy. To paste click where you want the text to be pasted select the application's Edit drop down menu and select Paste

3. Use keyboard shortcuts
you can select something, some text for example, then press Ctrl + X to Cut or Ctrl + C to Copy. To paste click where you want the text to be pasted then press Ctrl + V to Paste

Hope this helps
