Cut, Copy and Paste

Cut, Copy and Paste are basic computer skills. These commands have been part of computers since 1984, long before there was Windows. Each and every program, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, uses these functions.

 

Copy and Paste on the same document or a different document

  • Start the program Microsoft Word.

  • Insert a picture from ClipArt

  • Select the picture and copy and paste it five times

  • Go to File ->New and open a blank document

  • Paste the picture into a new blank sheet

Copy and Paste into a different program:

  • Insert a picture in Microsoft Word and copy it

  • Start the program Microsoft Excel

  • Paste the picture into Excel

Cut

Cut removes the text or graphic and places it on the clipboard, ready to paste somewhere else. Try it: Insert a new picture from ClipArt into Microsoft Word. Select the picture, go to Edit ->Cut. Open a new blank document and go to Edit -> Paste.
