Instructions for completing Test 1 using 'Copy and Paste'. Please review or print these instructions, then return to the previous web page to complete the test.
1. Switch from the web browser software to your word processing software. (e.g., Word or WordPerfect.)

2. Create or retrieve a five-page text document in your word processor.

3. Copy the text of the word processed document to the clipboard.
a. Select the text to be copied. (Windows-users can use Edit-Select All or Ctrl+A.)
b. Then copy the text to the clipboard using the copy command. (Windows-users can use Edit-Copy or Ctrl+C.)

4. Next minimize the word processor window, so you can see the web page again.

5. Open the online assignment form by clicking the 'Test 1: Create an assignment using copy and paste' link at the bottom of the Test 1 web page.

6. Follow the directions in the assignment form and paste your document into the appropriate text area.
a. Type your initials in location indicated at the top of the form.
b. Next, place the cursor in the large white box and invoke the paste command. (Windows-users can use Edit-Paste or Ctrl+V.)

7. When the text has appeared in the box, scroll down to the bottom of the form and click the 'Submit Assignment' button only once. (Don't click the 'Reset' button unless you want to clear the form and start all over!)

8. After submitting the form, you will receive a confirmation screen. Use the link "Click here" to see your submitted document posted on the 'Test Your System' page.
a. If you do not receive a confirmation screen within a minute after clicking the submit button, you may be experiencing problems with your Internet connection. Return to the Test Your System page and Refresh/Reload the page to see if your test posted. You should contact your ISP to determine why you are not communicating properly with the SLN web site.

9. Open the posting with your initials. If your document is blank or you notice changes in your document's text, go to the document "Please read this document after completing the two tests." located on the Test Your System page for possible solutions.

Please note that when you use the 'Copy and Paste' method of placing text into the assignment form, all document format codes are removed.
