Word 2000 Introduction


 

Cut, Copy and Paste

One of the biggest reasons word processors became popular was their ability to take entire sections of text and move them to different locations, something typewriters cannot do. Word 2000 has several means by which you can move a paragraph (or a copy of it) to another location.

To execute cut and paste:

  • Select the text you wish to cut
  • Click on the Cut button
  • Click the insertion point where you want the text to go
  • Click on the Paste button

To execute copy and paste:

  • Select the text you wish to copy
  • Click on the Copy button
  • Click the insertion point where you want the text to go
  • Click on the Paste button

Besides the buttons on the Standard toolbar, you can use [CTRL]+[X] for cut, [CTRL]+[C] for copy, and [CTRL]+[V] for paste. These options also come up if you right-click the selected text, and they appear under the Edit menu.

Word 2000 also has a new feature: the Office Clipboard. Unlike the Clipboard used in other programs, the Office Clipboard can store up to 12 items on it. When you're ready to paste, you simply click the button of the item you want.
