Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Paste
an efficient way to insert a single letter, word, an entire block of text, or an image from one location within a document or file, to the same or another document or file. To paste, means to place the material, into a document. It’s easy to do. For example, in Windows, say you decide you want to move the first paragraph of a document to the middle of the page. Place the mouse cursor just to the left of the first word in the paragraph. Now, left click the mouse and keep the button down while dragging the mouse over the entire paragraph, until all of the text is highlighted. Release the button. Now, in the menu bar, click Edit, select Copy, and click. The block of text is now temporarily saved on the Windows clipboard. Next, place your mouse cursor at the point in the document where you want the paragraph to appear and click. The screen cursor should be blinking. With your mouse, go back to the Edit command and click on Paste. If you’ve done everything correctly, the paragraph will appear at the point of the blinking cursor, making room for itself by pushing any other text forward. You can also copy and paste in exactly the same way from one application to another. see copy and paste.
