Copy, Move, and Delete Blocks of Text

When you are editing a document, you may want to copy, move or

delete blocks of text. You can delete, move, or copy blocks of text within

the same file, and you can also copy text from one file to another file.

After deleting, moving, or copying blocks of text, your document will be

automatically reformatted.
