Question

write the steps involved in using the cut copy and paste commands in Excel?

Answer 1

Step 1: Open an existing Word document or start a new document and type your text. You can find Word using Cortana or search for it in the search bar or Windows list of programs. 

 

Step 2: To copy text, it will need to be selected or highlighted with the mouse first. When the mouse pointer is moved over a text area, the pointer will change from an arrow to a ‘text select’ or ‘I-beam’ icon.


Step 3: Select your text so that it’s highlighted.

 

Step 4: Copy the text by clicking on the copy icon at the left-hand side of the formatting ribbon.



Step 5: Use the mouse to move the cursor to where you wish to paste the copied text.

 

Step 6: Click Paste to insert the copied text in its new place in your text.



Step 8: Your text will now be duplicated in the new position in your document.

 

Step 9: Once text is highlighted, it’s also possible to copy and paste it using a keyboard shortcut instead of the mouse, which some people find easier. To copy, press and hold Ctrl (the control key) on the keyboard and then press the C on the keyboard. To paste, press and hold downCtrl and then press V.
