Clipboard Group
The Microsoft Word Clipboard is a tool that allows you to virtually copy or cut text, images, or other content, and paste them elsewhere in the document.
There are four tools in the clipboard section: Cut, Copy, Paste, and Format painter
Cut: This action becomes available when content is selected/highlighted. Choose this option to remove the content.
Copy: This action becomes available when content is selected/highlighted. Choose this option to duplicate the content.
Note: after you click ‘copy’ the content does not disappear in the document; Microsoft Word holds the copy virtually until you indicate where you would like to place the copied content in the document.
Paste: This action becomes available when you have cut or copied content from your document or another application. Choose the default paste option to maintain the original formatting of the content. If you want to paste content with formatting that is different than the source, choose the drop-down menu, select paste special, and choose the option that suits your need.
Format Painter: This action allows you to copy formatting from one part of your document and replicate it elsewhere in the document. To use, select the text with the formatting you would like to copy, then click the format painter icon, and then highlight the text that you would like to format.
