Often in word processing, you will need to transfer information from one document to another. Instead of having to retype or replace this information, Word allows you to move a block of text, such as a word, sentence, paragraph, page, document, or graphic). Cut, copy, and paste are time-saving features. The Cut, Copy and Paste buttons are located on the Standard toolbar.
You can copy information from many different sources, including websites, emails, and other Office applications like Excel and PowerPoint.
Become comfortable using keyboard shortcuts to increase your speed in word processing.
If you cut, copy, or paste something you didn't mean to, use the
Undo button
or
choose not to save changes
to your document when you close it.
The drag-and-drop method of moving text allows you to move selected text using your mouse.
Be sure to remove the selection highlight before pressing any key so you don't delete newly moved text. IF you do accidentally delete, press the Undo button .
