To select text in a document, place your cursor on the location at which you
want to start selecting text. Press “Alt” to open the "Edit" menu, and press
"Enter" on "Start Selection", or you can press "b" in the "Edit" menu to get to
this option. While editing a document, pressing “Ctrl-b” activates this
command.
The end point of the selected text is determined by the location at which you
place the cursor after setting the start point. For example, if you have typed
the word, "mother" in a document, and you want to select the word "mother",
place the cursor on the letter m, activate the "Start selection command", and
place the cursor directly after the letter rather. The word "mother" is selected.
5.2.2 Copy
After selecting text in a document, press “Alt” to open the menu, and move to
"Edit" by pressing “down arrow button”. Press "Enter" to open the "Edit"
menu. Press “down arrow button” to move to "Copy" and press "Enter", or
press "c" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, pressing "Ctrl-c”
activates this command.
When you copy the selected text, it is copied to the clipboard. The clipboard
is the virtual space that is used for storing copied data temporarily. If you
copy new text to the clipboard, the data in the clipboard that you copied
previously is erased, and is replaced by the current text selection.
5.2.3 Cut
To cut a selection of text, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to
"Cut" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter", or
press "x" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, pressing "Ctrl-x"
activates the "Cut" command.
The difference between "Cut" and "Copy" is that if you execute the "Cut"
command, the selected text is moved to the clipboard and the selection is
removed from the document. The "Copy" command simply copies the
selection to the clipboard, and the selected text remains in the document.
