Composer is a difficult tool to use for simple cut and paste work with HTML codes ... but it can be done. You cannot use the 'paste' command because all it does is paste your 'code' as if it were text. So, here's how to get Composer to work with cut and paste.
Suppose that you want to paste in the html code <a href="http://www.disney.com">Click to visit Mickey Mouse</a> here's what you do.
First highlight the <a href="http://www.disney.com"> and press Copy or press the Control and C keys together. This copies the highlighted text to your 'clipboard'.
Second, open your html file in Composer, and move your cursor to where you want to paste the code.
Then click INSERT on top tool bar, then press HTML Tag. A dialog box like this will pop up.
Put the cursor in the box and press Ctrl-V then OK. You have now copied the first tag into your HTML file.
Then copy the next part of the code you want to paste - only one tag at a time - and repeat the procedure above. Then copy the next part of the code ....etc., etc., until all of what you wanted to paste into your HTML file with Composer is done. Then preview and save if everything is OK.
It must be easier to learn to use a text editor like Notepad !!
