what does the term copy and paste means?

Answer 1

Copy means to highlight what areas in an open document you want to copy, and paste means to bring that information into another document. I could highlight what I just wrote here to you by highlighting the text and hitting "control C" (to copy) or right clicking and choosing "copy" from the drop menu that will appear, then open up, say, my email. I can choose to create a new email, then hit "control V" or going to my edit menu and choosing "paste" while my cursor is in the new document, and what I copied from this page will appear.

Hope that helps, but it's different in other programs occasionally, but that's the gist of it.
