Copy and Paste

Put your mouse cursor on the item you want to copy, hold down your left mouse button and drag across the text. This will highlight what you want to copy. Once it is all highlighted, click on your right mouse button and select copy, or push Control and the C key on the keyboard.

To paste, put your cursor on the place you want to copy to, click the right mouse button and paste. You can also use the copy and paste under edit in your tool bar. Shortcut: Control C (copy) and Control V (paste).

Scan and defragging

The best way I can explain this is: The files in your computer get placed in different locations, by different programs. Be sure to scan your hard drive and then defrag. This process will put everything back in their places. To scan your hard drive, in Windows 95, go to My Computer on your desktop. Highlight the C: by clicking on it once. Go to File, then properties. A window will come up saying General at the top. This window tells you how much space you have left on your hard drive. Click the tab that saysTools. The scan and defrag is in the tools section. Just follow the directions it gives you.

File Attachments

The most common attachments are photos. It's simple to send attachments. Most email programs allow you to attach a file to any email message you are composing. In Netscape Mail, users should click the Attach button in the menu bar of the email message. Microsoft Internet Mail users should click on the Attach icon (it looks like a paper clip) to the email message. Eudora users should go to the Message menu and choose Attach Document. You'll then be given the option to choose which file (or files) you want to send. Simply find the file on your computer, or floppy drive, select it, and it will be automatically attached to and sent with your email.

Saving your address book

Open up the address book window, see the top task bar, it will say File Edit View Go. Click on Communicator then go down to Address Book)

Click on File, and you will see a drop down menu.

Go down to "Save as" and this will open up your save window.

Make sure to select which drive and folder you want your address book saved to.

File name will be address, and the type of file will be html file.

Blind Cc's

Netscape allows you to send one message to many users. But suppose you want to send that message to a group, but don't want the other recipients to see who else is receiving it. Netscape allows this through a Blind Cc field in the Message Composition window.

To send a blind message, open a new message, then enter your address in the Mail To field (the message must be addressed to someone). The Blind Cc field does not display by default, so if you don't see it, select View then Mail Bcc. Enter all the mailing addresses of the group recipients in the Blind Cc field. Now when you mail the message it'll show each recipient your address and their address, but no others. What is so nice about this is, when you receive a email that has been sent to multiple people, you don't have to scroll down through all of the email addresses, to see what is in the body of the message!
