MS Word - Copy Text and Paste Text


In MS Word, it is possible to copy text information from one area of a document and place that text anywhere in the same document or even in another document. In other words, after typing some text into a document, if it is required to be placed somewhere else, then there is no need retype that information as one can simply copy it from the location where it is typed and then paste it at the new location. As with cut data, Word stores copied data on the Clipboard.
