Answers
Cut-Paste and Copy-Paste are basic computing essentials which allow the person to edit a document or file easily and quickly.
There are a few differences in the two commands which is important to understand before doing the drill.
The Copy and Paste command is used when data from a document or any file is needed to be added to another location in addition to the place from where it is being originally copied. The second location could be either in the same document or location or in a different document or location.
The Cut and Paste command is used when the data from a document or any file from any location is to be moved completely to a new location and is no longer required in the original location. The new location could be in the same document or file or in a different document or file.
Both these commands need the data to be selected initially, which can be done by dragging the mouse across the area to be selected.
For Copy and Paste, the mouse should be right clicked in the new location after selection of data and the copy command is selected. After moving to the new location, the mouse is right clicked again and the paste command is selected.
Similarly, for Cut and Paste command, the mouse should be right clicked in the new location after selection of data and the Cut command is selected. After moving to the new location, the mouse is right clicked again and the paste command is selected.
