What does it mean to copy and paste text from Word? 

Answer

Cutting or copying and then pasting text is another way to move text from one location to another. 

  1. Cutting text removes it from its original location 
  2. Pasting places it in a new location 
  3. Copying leaves the text in its original location, but places a copy of the text in the new location when you paste.
