Use Cut (or press Shift+Del) to remove selected text and put it on the Clipboard, a temporary holding area. You can then use Paste (Shift+Ins) to insert the text at a new position. You can also open a new or existing document and insert the text. The text is still on the Clipboard and can be pasted again. Each time you cut or copy a piece of text, the new text replaces any text on the Clipboard. Tip: To select text, place the cursor at the beginning of the text and press the Shift+direction keys. To remove selected text without copying it to the Clipboard, press Del.
