Moving or copying text using the menu

You can copy selected text or objects in a document using the Copy and Paste items in the action bar.

  1. Select the text you want to copy or move.

  2. In the action bar, click Copy to copy the selected text or Cut to move the text.

    The text is copied to a temporary storage area called the clipboard, leaving the original text in place if you click Copy. If you click Cut, text or object will be moved to the clipboard only without remaining in its original place. Each time you select text or an object and then choose Copy or Cut, the clipboard contents are replaced.

  3. Click the location where you want the text to appear.

    You can move the text or object within the current document or to another one.

  4. In the action bar, click Paste.

    The copied or moved text appears at the location you clicked.
