Answer 2

First select that with which you want to work, then tell the computer what you want to do with it.

Example - try this: type a few words.
now select them (they will become highlighted)
right-click on the selection
click cut

- at the top left of your document, click the "new blank document" button
- right-click and choose to "paste"
the words will be entered

on the taskbar, click the tab for the first file
you will see the words are gone

click the tab on the taskbar for the new document
select the words
right-click on them
choose Copy

click the tab on the taskbar for the first document
right-click and choose paste
the words read in

click the tab for the new document
the words are still there

to cut: to remove from here, paste there
to copy: copy but leave this, put a copy there

Answer 3

Cut and copy are two different things. If you cut something in order to paste it elsewhere, you actually remove the original. However, if you copy instead of cut, you leave the original in its place while still being able to paste it elsewhere.

You can cut or copy and paste may things... text, files, shortcuts, etc. Basically you have to highlight what you want to paste. If that's text, hold your left mouse button and drag your mouse over the text you want, releasing the left mouse button when you're done. If it's a file you want, just click it once.

The easiest way to cut or copy is to hold the Ctrl button while hitting x for cut or c for copy. Then click the place where you want to paste and hold the Ctrl button while hitting the p for paste.

Answer 4

to cut copy or paste something put your mouse at the front of the words or numbers that you want to copy or cut. hold down the left button and move the mouse over the words or numbers until all the ones that you want are highlighted then release the left mouse button and then right click the mouse and it should say cut, copy, paste, delete then click what you want like copy with the left mouse button then click where ever you want to add what you just copied like in an email message then just click the right side of the mouse and it will say paste delete undo and then click paste and what you just copied will appear in the email that you want to send. just repeat these steps every time you want to paste copy or delete something. to delete something just do the same thing but click delete instead of copy, paste, or cut.

Remember these shortcuts for future reference when you use the keyboard:
