Press CTRL-C (hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard, tap the "C" key, and release the CTRL key) to copy the text to the computer's clipboard. Start up or switch to your word processor (or whatever program you want to use), position the cursor where you want the text to be inserted, and press CTRL-V to paste the entry. The text will appear in your word-processor as:
