Cut and Paste

[lenny]

WhenI had Windows98 as my operating system on my old pc,
I was able to do Cut and Paste of two different scannings
( Paperport6.0 w. a Visioneer Scanner) easily. I could
Cut/Copy a scanning of a top half of a magazine page and
then Paste it on the bottom half of another page.

Now that I have a new desktop PC w. WindowsXP, I can't do
this type of Cut/Paste like before. I have a new
Visioneer 8920 USB Scanner with Paperport 7.0 Deluxe. I
can't see where this newer hardware/software is so
different that it won't allow me to Cut/Paste like before.

Please help.

Does Visioneer have a support number or site? They should be
contacted. :-)

PaperPort 6.0 also has an extensive User Guide (.pdf file). Have you
checked your new PaperPort CD for .pdf files? The guide should be very
helpful.

You don't want cut and paste. You want copy and paste.

Open your resume in the program you used to create it. Then highlight the
area you want. Copy! Now go to the web page and paste it in!

If you were like me and didn't have a clue, I'll elaborate. Go online
to the site you want to copy your resume to. Then, call up the resume
file using the XP start menu bar - click on it and then locate your
resume. Once you call up your resume, and it is probably best to go
into full screen mode here, you need to "highlight" all of the text,
or part of it (whatever you want to copy) by left clicking at the
beginning of what you want to copy. Then, still holding the button
down, drag the mouse down until all of the text you want is
highlighted. Now, still highlighted, right click on the highlight
somewhere, and you'll have a menu with a couple of different choices.
Choose "copy", and it will be saved into a windows buffer somwhere.
Now. exit out of everythijng and you are back at your screen online.
Now, put the mouse cursor where you want to copy the buffered resume
to, and right click. You now can use the "paste" command, and it will
copy it all into wherever you are trying to put it.

I have copied & pasted " .txt " text files and html text files that
way. It probably works for other kinds of Windows editors too.
