Cutting, copying, and pasting text and graphics

You can cut or copy text or graphics and paste them to a new location in a document.

When you cut or copy information, it is stored on the Clipboard. You can paste it in the active document, in another document, or in another application.

Clipboard contents are available only until you cut or copy something else, or until you quit Windows. However, instead of replacing the information already stored, you can append the Clipboard contents so that new information is added to the existing contents.

You can also choose a specific format when you paste information from the Clipboard into WordPerfect. For example, you can copy text from another application as Rich Text Format (.rtf) or as simple text (.txt).
