Copying and pasting text

You can copy text from one location to another on the same page or from one page to another.

To copy and paste text:

  1. Select the text you want to copy, and then choose Edit > Copy.

    To copy all the text in a text box, click the text box. To copy just some words in a block of text, drag to select just those words.

  2. Click where you want to paste the text.

    To paste within existing text, first place your insertion point in the text where you want the pasted text to be added. If you click elsewhere on the page, the pasted text appears in a new text box, which you can move wherever you want it to appear on the page.

  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • To make the text you’re pasting retain its formatting, choose Edit > Paste.

    • To make the text you’re pasting use the same formatting as the text you’re pasting into, choose Edit > “Paste and Match Style.”
