Topic: Paste from Word
I've always been able to paste from Word using Ctrl with V, but now it says I must use Ctrl/Cmd + V but I don't have a Cmd key on my computer. Any suggestions? Thanks. Take care. Vern

Somehow, Word thinks you are using a Mac? (Which doesn't make sense because Word is a Windows app.) Have you tried Ctrl-Windows-V?

It's this site which wants me to use ctrl/cmd + V in order to paste my work. I'm trying to post for the contest but it won't accept anything and brings up another box which tells me to use that combo. By your suggestion is the "Window" the key to the right of the space bar which looks like a page with lines on it? I'll try that to see if it works. Thanks. Take care. Vern
Note: No luck with that option.

Re: Paste from Word
The window key has a keycap with four equally divided squares on it. Usually way over on the lower left next to the left CTRL key.

That's what it said was the command key, but nonetheless, the site finally accepted my paste the old-fashioned way (Crtl V) for whatever reason. Thanks for the help. Take care. Vern

Just your computer's way of checking to see if you're paying attention.
