This tooltip shows you the main paste options available: When you paste in recent versions of Word a little tooltip appears near the pasted text. You can do that by placing the cursor where you want to insert and pressing Ctrl + V or Ctrl + Insert – and here’s where a ‘simple’ feature gets more interesting. Now we have something in the clipboard, we can paste it in Word. Select text/images then drag over to the document window and drop it. It’s also possible to drag and drop into Office documents. Microsoft Office is a little smarter, if you Copy without selecting anything, it will do nothing and leave the existing clipboard contents intact. Many will copy ‘nothing’ to the Clipboard, removing the previous Clipboard contents. Some programs are smarter than others about Copy when you haven’t selected anything. Windows 11 and Windows 10 have an enhanced clipboard which stores many copied items and lets you paste them individually. The old standard Clipboard has only one storage location so when you Copy, the new copied stuff replaces whatever is already in the clipboard. However you do it, the copied material is placed in the Windows Clipboard. The exact way copy works depends on the source program.
Or there’ll be a copy command on the menu or right-click menu.
CopyĪt the simple level you copy by selecting the item to be copied then press a shortcut – Ctrl + C should work across almost all Windows programs. Sometimes the results aren’t what you need and that’s where the Paste options and trick come in handy. That’s made very easy but there’s a lot of code and smarts going on behind the scenes to convert between different formats and types. You can copy text and images from many programs directly into Office. That simple feature has come a long way since that simple beginning. Copy and Paste has a long history in computing, starting with the late Lawrence Tesler (much missed).
