Cutting, copying, and pasting text

You can select fragments of text and copy them somewhere else in the file or move them there altogether.

Before you begin

Before you cut text from a source segment or paste text to a source segment, you need to enable source editing (Other Actions > Edit Source). However, you do not have to do this if you only want to copy text from a segment or to paste text to a target segment.

Procedure

  1. Open the appropriate file in Online Editor.
  2. Select the text that you want to cut or copy.
  3. On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, select Cut or Copy, depending on what you want to do.
  4. Click the exact place where you want to paste the text.
  5. Select Ctrl+V.
