Pasting Copied Information into Another Document

Copy information as instructed in the sections Copying Selected Text, Copying Entire Articles or Copying Images.

1. Launch the destination package eg. a word processor such as Microsoft Word.
2. Open a new document or a pre-existing document that you may have already created.
3. Move the mouse cursor to the area of the document where you wish the copied text or image to appear. Click once and an insertion point or black flashing vertical line will appear.
4. Click on the Edit menu of your word processor and then select Paste from the drop-down menu.
5. The copied item will appear on the page.

This process can be repeated as many times as you wish as the copied items will remain in the Clipboard until you copy another item or you turn off the computer. Remember it is worthwhile saving (in this example) the word processed document you have created. For further notes on this, please refer to the Word Processing section.
