The Copy and Paste commands of PageMaker can be used to copy text from one location in a document and paste it at another location. The Copy command creates a duplicate of the selected text, leaving the original text unchanged. The Paste command pastes the copied text at the position where the insertion point is placed. The Cut and Paste commands can be used to move text from one position in a document to the other. The Cut command deletes the selected text from its original position. The Paste command then places this text at the position where the insertion point is placed.
