About Cut, Copy, Paste and Format Painter When you are learning to do how to use the cut, copy and paste commands in your word processor dramatically improves your productivity. Instead of retyping a sentence you want moved, you can cut and paste it to move it instantly. Copying lets you reproduce a section of text without having to type it each time. Most word processors, such as Microsoft Word, also have special pasting options to further simplify your job. Cut (Ctrl+X) The "Cut" function removes the currently selected text and places it on the clipboard. The clipboard on a computer functions as temporary storage for the last item you've cut or copied. After you cut text, you won't see it on your screen, but you can place it anywhere in the document using the "Paste" function. You can perform a cut on selected text by pressing "Control-X" or clicking the "Cut" button on the Home tab in Microsoft Word. How to cut a selected text/picture? Select your text/picture => Select Home Menu => Click Cut Tool (it will automatically be stored in the MS Word Clipboard). For more understanding, look at the screenshot please: Copy (Ctrl+C) When you press "Control-C" or click the "Copy" button on the Home tab, the computer copies the selected text into the clipboard. The text also remains in its original location. By pasting copied text, you duplicate it, making it faster to reuse the same word or sentence over and over. How to copy a selected text/picture from the file? Select your text/picture => Select Home menu => Click copy tool (it will automatically store in the Ms Word Clipboard).

You can also paste by pressing "Control-V." When you paste text, the computer does not remove it from the clipboard, so you can paste it multiple times or in several places without needing to copy it again. Turning off your computer or rebooting empties the clipboard. Paste Options Microsoft Word offers a few options when pasting to customize how the pasted material looks. After you paste, a small box labelled "(Ctrl)" pops up. Press "Control" or click the box if you want to see the paste options. These include options such as "Keep Text Only," which removes all formatting from the pasted text, and "Merge Formatting," which alters the text's format to match the area around the paste. Hold your mouse over any icon in the paste options box to see its name and click one to select it. Press "Escape" to hide the options box without changing the setting. How to paste a copied/cut text/picture wherever I want? Select your destination (keep the cursor) => Select Home menu => Click Paste Tool.

Just select the thing you like the look of, click Format Painter, and then click the thing you want to change to look the same. Format Painter picks up all the formatting from your first thing, whether it’s a shape, cell, picture border, or piece of text, and applies it to the second. How to copy and paste a format to another text in the document? Select your format (that you have already decorated format) => Click Format painter (Now you can see the brush with cursor point) => Click on the new text that you want to invert the formats (Now new text could change to copied format).
