Copying or moving text, numbers or objects with earlier desktop applications meant surrounding a block of information with cryptic codes, and the appearance of ‘on-screen’ menus. The problem with a novice user was remembering the correct edit screen to use, which frustrates the user to hand-write or use a typewriter to create a letter, memo or report. Now you have Microsoft Office programs that allow to you point and click drop-down menus for editing commands to move or copy text anywhere in a document.
As you become more skillful with Microsoft Office applications, you will discover other methods than the Edit menu for the cut, copy and paste operations. Two of these methods are the right-click shortcut menus and the drag and drop techniques that work with any Microsoft Office 2003 application.
