Move and Copy Text

The easiest way to move or copy text a short distance is drag-and-drop editing.

Does drag-and-drop editing not work?   Click Options (Tools menu). On the Edit tab, click Drag-and-drop text editing.

Move or Copy Text a Long Distance

You can drag and drop text between documents or among different applications, but you might find it easier to use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands. To move text, select it, click the Cut button, click in the new location, and then click the Paste button. To copy text, select it, click the Copy button, click in the new location, and then click the Paste button. (You can paste the text as many times as you want; the text remains on the Clipboard—a temporary storage location—until you cut or copy different text.)
