It means that instead of typing in a full body of text manually, the person used the functionality of the computer to copy an already existing body of text with the same content and applied it to the field in which it applies. To do it, hold down the left mouse button as you move the cursor over the desired text. It will become highlighted in blue. Once all the desired text is highlighted, right click in the blue area and select the option "copy". Now this text is saved on your clipboard. Next, right click in the field you want the text to appear in and select "paste". That's it.

A simple way of taking information, word for word, from another site or document and putting it into your own document or another document.

Take for instance, the text below this sentence:

Do not include any copyrighted text. Also please keep in mind that your answer can be edited and improved upon by other contributors. Click here for the full http://wiki.answers.com/about/legal_notices.html#terms.

I copy-pasted the above sentence from the little "Rule" chart to the right of the "Provide Answer" section.

Of course, you cannot tell, seeing as this site lacks the ability to determine what has been copied and pasted. But I assure you, it is a copy-paste.

Or you can high lite text and then copy it, then you can paste it in another location in the document.

Cutting text means that you take it from somewhere in the document and then you put it in some other place.

The text is shifted from one place to another.
