<h1>Copy/paste text passages, undo/redo your actions</h1>
<h3>Use basic clipboard operations</h3>
<p>To cut, copy and paste text passages and inserted objects (autoshapes, images, charts) within the current document use the corresponding options from the right-click menu or icons available at any tab of the top toolbar:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Cut</b> select a text fragment or an object and use the <b>Cut</b> option from the right-click menu to delete the selection and send it to the computer clipboard memory. <span class="onlineDocumentFeatures">The cut data can be later inserted to another place in the same document.</span></li>
<li><b>Copy</b> select a text fragment or an object and use the <b>Copy</b> option from the right-click menu, or the <b>Copy</b> <img alt="Copy icon" src="../images/copy.png" /> icon at the top toolbar to copy the selection to the computer clipboard memory. <span class="onlineDocumentFeatures">The copied data can be later inserted to another place in the same document.</span></li>
<li><b>Paste</b> find the place in your document where you need to paste the previously copied text fragment/object and use the <b>Paste</b> option from the right-click menu, or the <b>Paste</b> <img alt="Paste icon" src="../images/paste.png" /> icon at the top toolbar.
The text/object will be inserted at the current cursor position. <span class="onlineDocumentFeatures">The data can be previously copied from the same document.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="onlineDocumentFeatures">In the <em>online version</em>, the following key combinations are only used to copy or paste data from/into another document or some other program,</span> <span class="desktopDocumentFeatures">in the <em>desktop version</em>, both the corresponding buttons/menu options and key combinations can be used for any copy/paste operations:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Ctrl+X</b> key combination for cutting;</li>
<li><b>Ctrl+C</b> key combination for copying;</li>
<li><b>Ctrl+V</b> key combination for pasting.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: instead of cutting and pasting text within the same document you can just select the necessary text passage and drag and drop it to the necessary position.</p>
<h3>Use the Paste Special feature</h3>
<p>Once the copied text is pasted, the <b>Paste Special</b> <img alt="Paste Special" src="../images/pastespecialbutton.png" /> button appears next to the inserted text passage. Click this button to select the necessary paste option. </p>
<p>When pasting the paragraph text or some text within autoshapes, the following options are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Paste</em> - allows to paste the copied text keeping its original formatting.</li>
<li><em>Keep text only</em> - allows to paste the text without its original formatting.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you paste the copied table into an existing table, the following options are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Overwrite cells</em> - allows to replace the existing table contents with the pasted data. This option is selected by default.</li>
<li><em>Nest table</em> - allows to paste the copied table as a nested table into the selected cell of the existing table.</li>
<li><em>Keep text only</em> - allows to paste the table contents as text values separated by the tab character.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Undo/redo your actions</h3>
<p>To perform the undo/redo operations, use the corresponding icons in the editor header or keyboard shortcuts:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Undo</b> use the <b>Undo</b> <img alt="Undo icon" src="../images/undo.png" /> icon at the left part of the editor header or the <b>Ctrl+Z</b> key combination to undo the last operation you performed.</li>
<li><b>Redo</b> use the <b>Redo</b> <img alt="Redo icon" src="../images/redo.png" /> icon at the left part of the editor header or the <b>Ctrl+Y</b> key combination to redo the last undone operation.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note">
<b>Note</b>: when you co-edit a document in the <b>Fast</b> mode, the possibility to <b>Redo</b> the last undone operation is not available.
