Pasting files

The file we have copied is currently in the clipboard - a kind of computer limbo and we cannot see or use it at this stage. To make the copy of the file useable we have to make it appear again. To do this we use the ‘paste’ function on the folder where we want the copy to appear.

  • Double click on the Copies folder to open it.
  • Click on the Edit menu, then on Paste.

Now you should try the whole process yourself.

Note: You should only select data files and not system or program files. System and Program files are managed by the computer – and are necessary for the computer to operate properly.

If you are not sure ask your tutor.
