Hello,
I have a Windows 10 Acer Aspire 5 laptop. I cannot get copy and paste to work. I have tried highlighting text then right clicking to copy and right clicking again to paste. I also tried control c to copy and control v to paste but nothing happens. I then tried to go into the command prompt and type in a sequence that is supposed to allow access to copy and paste but had no luck. Someone please help?! Also, how I do I do the em dash (the long dash) on this device? I have tried many things including the sequence of holding control down and typing 0151. That Occasionally works. It works about every 15+ try which is extremely annoying and inconvenient. Someone please help!
