I think of the V, in control V, as the top of a Elmer's glue bottole. And control plus X, for cut, as the pair of scissors that are open and ready to cut. But these are print memory aids, don't qquite work in braille. Shelley L. Rhodes M.A., VRT, CTVI and Guinevere, Golden lady Guide juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

A memory clue I use for the Control V, paste command, is to liken it to the back flap of an envelope, which has that V shape. The glue pastes down the envelope flap, Control V pastes down the information. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Parsons" <akp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 8:13 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: WORD OF WARNING! Hi all, Actually, it's CTRL-Z as in Zulu. All the major editing commands in Word are made with the left hand on the bottom row of the keyboard. CTRL-Z for undo, CTRL-X for cut (excise), CTRL-C for copy, and, CTRL-V for paste because CTRL-P is for print. If you're wondering about 'exise', I use it as a memonic for students. Yes, I know it starts with an E but it sounds like it ought to start with an X and it means to cut out. So, shoot me! Ann P. -- Ann K.
