Cut, Copy and Paste


Like Microsoft Word, Writer enables you to cut, copy and paste text and objects. This can be done within one document or between multiple documents. There are a number of ways to do this.

  • It can be done through the EDIT menu by highlighting text you want to copy or cut, select COPY or CUT. Place the mouse where the text will be inserted, and select PASTE from the EDIT menu.
  • You can also use the cut, copy and paste icons in the tool bar (pictured above).
  • These key commands speed up the process if you will be using the cut, copy and paste features often:
    • Ctrl + C = Copy
    • Ctrl + V = Paste
    • Ctrl + X = Cut
