Copy

How to Copy: Simply select, then do it to it. For instance, select the text you wish to copy (press-and-drag over it), then from the Edit menu choose “Copy.” The text will remain in your document and a copy will be placed on the Clipboard.

This text is selected and the Copy command is chosen. You can see it on the Clipboard on the opposite page.

OK, it’s on the Clipboard. Now what? Well, the Clipboard holds objects for pasting. You can take text or a graphic out of one place and paste it into your document somewhere else, just as if you had a little glue pot. We’ll get to that in just a moment (next page).
