Cut, Copy, and Paste allow you
to move or copy text (words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, and complete
documents) to another location. The Cut function removes the text from one
location, and Paste puts it someplace else. Using the Copy function, you
can copy text to a new location without removing it from the original
location.
For example, if you have created a letter in your word processor and one
of the sentences is out of order, you can move it to the correct place.
Using your mouse, place the cursor at the beginning of the text you want
to move. Click and hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor to
the end of the text. You now have several ways to cut the selection:
1) click on the Cut icon (the scissors)
on the toolbar,
2) select Cut from the Edit Menu,
3) type Ctrl X, or
Again, there are several choices to
"paste" the text:
1) click on the Paste icon (the
clipboard on the toolbar),
2) select Paste from the Edit Menu, or
3) type Ctrl V. Any of these three choices will "paste" the
selection in the new location.
If you want to copy some text and place
it in another location, select the text as mentioned above. Your choices
for copying are:
1) click on the Copy icon (the two
pieces of paper on the toolbar),
2) select Copy from the Edit Menu, or
3) type Ctrl C.
As before, place your cursor at the
location you want to insert the copied text and either:
1)
click on the Clipboard on the toolbar,
2) select Paste from the Edit Menu, or
3) type Ctrl V. This will "paste" the copied text in the new
location.
