How to copy and paste text

This can be used to copy text from a word processing document, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs, into the Learning Hub or vice versa.

1. First, highlight the text you want to copy.

2. Choose one:

1. Right click and select “copy” 

2. For Windows: hold down the CTRL key then press C on your keyboard 

3. For Mac: hold down the Command key (⌘)  then press C on your keyboard

3. Next, go to where you want to paste the text and place the cursor where the text should be. 

4. Choose one:

1. Right click and select “paste”

2. For Windows: hold down the CTRL key then press V on your keyboard 

3. For Mac: hold down the Command key (⌘)  then press V on your keyboard 

Tips:

• The Hub’s formatting tools are not the same as a typical word processor (like Microsoft Word), so you may need to do some reformatting once you’ve pasted in your text. 

• Emojis, smiley faces, and special characters may cause issues when pasting. If your text does not show up, go back to your original work and delete any of these items. Then repeat the copying and pasting steps. 

• Pictures don’t always copy/paste correctly, so you may need to use the advanced editor and upload the image.
