which isn't of earth-shattering importance, but I'm wondering if there's something I don't know that could help?
When I copy and paste (mainly in WORD which is what I'm usually in) when I highlight what I want, it tends to go so FAST I miss where I want to stop.
I find myself going back and forth, highlighting and going back UNhighliighting, trying to get just the section I want and nothing else.
If it's the first or last part of the text, I can go to where I want to stiop or start and run it over from there.
For example, openning a large amount of text and putting a word or line in FIND, finding it and then trying to highlight JUST that part. It runs over it, I go back and sometimes loose where I was and have to open FIND again and start over.
I hold down the left mouse button and run it over. But have tried this and using the arrow keys (up and down) too.
It's just so fast. The same thing happens in other programs, like I use Coffee Cup html editor.
Though, of course, if it's just a line I want to delete I can use the backspace and watch as I delete it. But to highlight and delete (or cut/copy) it goes so fast I can't control it.
Fast is good in some things, but not so good in others (LOL)
My petty problem of the day.
