Copying and Pasting Text to Other Applications

One easy way to save a document is to copy and paste it into another application. When you select and copy highlighted (blocked) text, you copy it to the Windows Clipboard. The Clipboard then holds it until you paste it into another application, or you replace it with another piece of copied information.

Each time you copy text to the Clipboard, it replaces the previously copied text. 

To copy text to the Clipboard:

1. Highlight the text you want to copy. 
   
   
2. From the Edit menu, select Copy.
   
   
3. If you are copying information to another application (such as a word processing program), launch the application. 
   
   
4. Once the target application appears on-screen, position your cursor, and from the Edit menu, select Paste. The text appears in the document.
