I always copy a link from the Address Line

Bring up the page in your browser that you are interested in copying - like I am on this page right now

Right click in the address line at top of browser (starts with http) - highlight COPY - left click

Left click the place where you want to put it - Right click - highlight PASTE and left click

VOILA below is the link to this page that I copied by following my own directions just to be sure they worked lol:

Now you can copy pages that you find on the internet that your friends need to see!
Enjoy
