Cut, Copy and Paste

Cut, Copy and Paste are basic computer skills. These commands have been part of computers since 1984, long

uses these functions.

Copy and Paste on the same document

Start the program Microsoft Word.
Insert a picture from ClipArt
Select the picture and copy and paste it five times

Copy and Paste to a different document

Start the program Microsoft Word.
Insert a picture from ClipArt
Select the picture and copy and paste
Go to New and open a blank document
Paste the picture into a new blank sheet

Copy and Paste into a different program:

Insert a picture in Microsoft Word and copy it
Start the program Microsoft Excel
Paste the picture into Excel
Cut
Cut removes the text or graphic and places it on the clipboard, ready to paste somewhere else. Try it: Insert two new
pictures from ClipArt into Microsoft Word. Next to each picture, write what it is. Select ONE picture, go to Cut.
Open a new blank document and go to Paste.

You do NOT have to save these practice files.
