Typing, Selecting & Deleting Text

Copy, Cut & Paste – Your Digital Scissors

• Copy (Ctrl + C): Makes a copy of your selected text.

• Cut (Ctrl + X): Removes the text from its place.

• Paste (Ctrl + V): Inserts what you copied or cut.

Example - Cut a sentence from the top and paste it at the bottom to rearrange your ideas.

Undo & Redo – Oops? No Problem!

• Undo (Ctrl + Z): Reverses your last action.

• Redo (Ctrl + Y): Brings it back if you undo by mistake.

Perfect for when you accidentally delete a whole paragraph.
