Tech: Copying a URL in Windows 8

With my newfangled Windows 8 computer I am unable to copy (then paste)a Web address from the box in the upper left of the screen. I've been able to do this with every other computer I've ever used. What gives?

You could take a picture of it with your phonecam and refer to the picture to type it in?

No (serious) comment seen as yet, so of course I'm just joshing ya'.

(I wonder if photos of the screen should be with or without flash? Let us know if you find out.)

Ha! Figured it out: You left-click on it, then right-click on it.

Isn't clicking illegal in Win8.

All the advertising says you just wave your hands and "magic happens."

You'll be cursed from now on with being our Win8 Guru ...

Congratulations (I think?)

You really should clean up a little before you go broadcasting to the world

Does Windows 8 include the option I've recently heard about for creating links?
Using [Ctrl+K] opens a dialogue box to create a link, with the option of linking to an address in any open browser.
