Instructions for Creating Letters for use in E-Mail

First things first.

You ought to print this tutorial now so that you have the instructions at hand as you go through the process.

Open Microsoft Word as usual.

Type the letter as you normally would.

When the letter is finished, place the cursor at the beginning of the typed text and then hold down the right mouse button and "drag" the cursor across and down the page so that all of the text has been highlighted.

When all of the text has been highlighted, release the button and the text will remain highlighted. This instructs the computer that you wish to perform a particular function with the text.

Once the text is highlighted, point to "Edit" at the top left of the screen and click.this opens a menu and on that menu, click on the word "Copy".

Once the copy function has been performed, you will then minimize the Microsoft Word screen, by clicking on the "Minus" sign at the far upper right of the screen. This temporarily closes the screen and will allow you to perform the next steps.

When the letter has been finished, copied and the screen minimized, then open America Online through the normal way. When you have logged on to AOL, you may then go back to Microsoft Word to follow the Copy and Paste Procedures. After the information has been copied using the steps outlined above, then return to the AOL screen by clicking on the AOL line at the bottom of the screen and then clicking inside the message area of the e-mail window.

At this point, you will go to the "edit" menu again and this time will click on the word "Paste". Everything that was copied will be automatically placed inside the message area.

Then click "Send Now" and the e-mail will be delivered.
