You should search for each of those in your application help file. The F1
key usually opens a help window. Type in "copy" or "cut" or "paste" in the
search area of the help window..
 
If your software has an "Edit" menu, you'll see the features there. Or, if
you like keyboard shortcuts:

CTRL + X (Cut)
CTRL + C (Copy)
CTRL + V (Paste)

Or, select whatever you want to cut or copy and then right-click on that
same thing and you may get a popup menu with the same features.
 
Cut, coping, and pasting are all very simple tasks in all
versions of Windows. You can simply use shortcut keys to
accomplish all of these things. To copy press CTRL + C,
to paste, press CTRL + V and to cut press CTRL + X.

You may find many programs that have available toolbar
buttons where you can accomplish these very task without
using these shortcut methods that I've mentioned. Open
Microsoft Word, WordPad or etc. You'll find them
available in many applications.

To copy drag from left to right with the cursor of the
mouse and select the text, the copy the text. Once it
copied, it's available to the Windows clipboard where you
can paste it into another section of the document. You
can cut, it's similar to coping except it doesn't leave
the text. It completely takes the text and sends it to
the clipboard where it can be pasted.

In general, if you copy the text "Hello, this is Chris"
it will send it to the clipboard. However, if you
select "Hello, this is Tom" it will overwrite what was
copied. Word 2000 is the only exception where you can
copy and paste up to 12 items.

I hope this helps.

when you see what you want o copy or move to another
Click to expand...
location, use the right click option on the file of
choice. thats the right button of the mouse. it will open
up a menu and will say cut, copy etc. if you chose copy it
will do just that it will remain where it is and make a
copy. if you chose cut it will move permanently to where
you want it to go. once you have made a choice, go to the
destination of where you want the file an right click it
also, or go to the file menu up top. if you right click
you will see paste in the menu, click it and the file will
be moved to this destination. you will see paste option in
the file menu up top also.
