INTRODUCTION

Just as you can copy text, you can move text from one location in a document to another location in the same document. You can also move text from one document to another. Moving text is similar to copying text, except that when you move something it is deleted from its original location.

TIP

Move to Another Application

To move cut or copied data from WordPad to another application, simply switch to the desired application, click the spot where you want the data to be placed, open the Edit menu, and select Paste .
