Understand the basic Copy, Cut, and Paste commands in Office 2016 applications, their functionalities, and how to effectively use the Office Clipboard for managing content across documents and applications.


Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Copy, Cut, and Paste Commands
    The Copy, Cut, and Paste commands are fundamental operations in Office automation. They are essential, especially when dealing with large volumes of content. These commands, along with the Office Clipboard, facilitate the movement of text, graphics, and more within a file or between different applications.
  2. Using the Copy Command
    To copy an item, select it and choose 'Copy' from the clipboard group on the Home tab, or right-click and select 'Copy'. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Control + C. This action duplicates the selected content, allowing you to paste it elsewhere.
  3. Using the Cut Command
    To move content from one location to another, use the Cut command instead of Copy. This can be done by selecting the content and choosing 'Cut' from the clipboard group or by right-clicking and selecting 'Cut'. The keyboard shortcut for this action is Control + X.
  4. Pasting Content
    After copying or cutting your text, you can paste it in the desired location. When pasting from one document to another, you may want the text to either retain the original formatting or adopt the formatting of the destination document. Microsoft Office applications provide several formatting options when pasting items.
  5. Formatting Options for Pasting
    To access the formatting options, click the arrow under the Paste icon in the clipboard group on the Home tab, or right-click to find the same options in the Paste Options section. Hovering over an option will show a preview of the result. The default paste option can be changed after pasting by clicking on the Paste Options button that appears.
  6. Understanding the Office Clipboard
    The Office Clipboard stores text and graphics that you copy or cut, allowing you to paste items from one Office file to another. Office 2016 applications share a common clipboard that can hold up to 24 different entries, making it convenient to move text and images between applications.
  7. Accessing the Clipboard Pane
    To view the Clipboard pane, click the dialog box launcher in the clipboard group on the Home tab. The Clipboard pane displays all cut and copied items, allowing you to click on an item to insert it into your document. You can paste items multiple times without removing them from the clipboard.
  8. Managing Clipboard Items
    You can delete items from the clipboard by right-clicking on them and selecting delete. Additionally, you can use the 'Paste All' option to paste all clipboard items into a selected area of your document or 'Clear All' to remove all clipboard elements. To close the clipboard pane, click the cross in the upper right corner.
  9. Conclusion
    The Paste Options and Clipboard features in Office applications significantly enhance productivity when working on large documents. They save time by allowing users to choose the most suitable options for their needs.

to insert it into the chosen location.
00:02:30
Be aware that you can paste it
00:02:31
as many times as necessary,
00:02:33
as pasting it does not remove it from the clipboard.
00:02:36
But you can right-click on an item
00:02:37
and press delete to delete it.
00:02:40
You can also click Paste All
