Dear Sarah,
Is it possible to cut and paste selected information from
someone else's Web page? I don't see those buttons on my Netscape
Navigator.

Dear Vivi,
Yes. First make a document page to put the copy into. Use
whatever program you normally use for word-processing, e.g.,
Microsoft Word. Then simply highlight what you want to copy
from the Web site you're visiting, and paste it in.
Use commands such as CTRL-C and CTRL-V to copy and paste
the information from the Web into the document page.
Warning from a friend: be apprised that copyright law does
apply to information on the Web. Warning from me: be apprised
that whatever you copy and paste will have an appalling
format, and you'll likely have to make laborious changes
in order for the material to be presentable. In a perfect
world, an application will eventually evolve that allows
us to copy and paste Web pages with the formatting intact.
Until then, you may have to spend some time deleting unnecessary
formatting, including narrow margins of white space.
