- Select the text to transfer from another application, such as Microsoft Word or any other text editor, to Blackboard.
- Right-click on the text to bring up the additional menu.
Note: Mac users will have to control-click instead.
- Pick Copy.
- Now that you have copied the text, go to Blackboard and right-click on a text box.
Note: Mac users will have to control-click instead.
- From the menu, pick Paste.
- The text should be copied over.
