how to copy and paste avail information onto web address bar when receiving e-mail

[maddy6]

When I get an e-mail with new information that I have applied to a certain website and cannot click it on, the e-mail tells me to copy and paste the new information on the address bar of my web browser ????  How do I do this; highlight the area to be copied (which I can find "copy" at the top of my e-mails), but can't find "paste" anywhere???

Thank You!!

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!

It would help us reply to you if you gave us more information... Which HP device are you using?  A Windows PC with a keyboard?

An Android Tablet?  A ChromeBook?

If Windows, the keyboard shortcuts always work.  Highlight the address, type "Control-C" to copy the information.

Now click in the address box of the browser and using the keyboard, type "Control-V" to Paste.    Think as the "V" as an arrow pointing to "paste it here!"    🙂

(To perform each function, press and hold the control key first, then tap the letter you wish).

Other ways to paste is to right-click your mouse and choose "Paste" (after copying something).
