A transcript from an exchange in my office last week, when a colleague came in for some technical assistance:<\/p>\n
“Rich, can you help me with something? I have a list of email addresses and I want to send an email to all of them.”<\/p>\n
My colleague sits down and plops his laptop in front of me.<\/p>\n
“Sure. Where’s the list?”<\/p>\n
“It’s here. I’ve selected all the emails, and I’ve copied them.” He shows me the highlighted names.<\/p>\n
“Okay,” I say, “let’s paste them into your email address field.” I press two keys and the addresses are pasted.<\/p>\n
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…! What happened there? How did you do that?”<\/p>\n
“I pasted them in there. That’s what you wanted right?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, but how did you do it so fast? What did you press on the keyboard?”<\/p>\n
“I pressed control-v.”<\/p>\n
“Control-v, huh? Cool. I’m going to gave to remember that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
