Cut, Copy, and Paste Text

The Cut, Copy, and Paste commands operate consistently throughout applications. The Cut command removes the selected information and places that information on the clipboard. The clipboard is a storage space that temporarily holds information. This information may then be moved (pasted) to another location.

To Cut Text:

• Select the cell(s) that you want to remove.
  

• Hold CONTROL and click (or right-click if you are using a two-button mouse) on the selected cells. Select Cut.
  

• The information is now temporarily stored on the clipboard. To copy this information to a new location, see the instructions for the paste command below.

To Copy Text:

• Select the cell(s) that you want to copy.
  

• Hold CONTROL and click (or right-click if you are using a two-button mouse) on the selected cells. Select Copy.

To Paste Text:

The Paste command inserts information that is stored on the clipboard in a new location.
