Now, go to the "Edit" menu option on the program you're using. On most programs it is second from the left on the menu. You'll want to choose "Copy" from the Edit menu. Or, you could instead use the shortcut, "Ctrl C," which simply means that you hold down the Control key on your keyboard at the same time you press the C key. Nothing will appear to change, but the content that you had highlighted is now on your computer's "clipboard," a memory area it stores such information.
In your new document, the one in which you want the info you just copied to appear, position your cursor where you would like the information to appear. Go to the "Edit" menu and click on "Paste" (or do a "Ctrl V"). You should now see the text you copied appear in your new document. You can edit it or move on to the next item you wish to "cut & paste." That's all there is to it!
