Tip:

  • The contents of the Clipboard remain unchanged until you use the Copy or Cut command again.

  • You cannot run the Paste command if the Clipboard is empty.

  • If you select an element as the insertion point and that element cannot be replaced, the Clipboard contents are not pasted at the insertion point.

  • You can use the Undo command to reverse the results of the Paste command.

  • You can use the Repeat command to repeatedly paste the contents of the Clipboard at the insertion point.

  • If the Clipboard contains data, and you have selected data in the document, the software replaces the selected data with the contents of the Clipboard.

  • Pasted text and elements remain selected after you use the Paste command.
