Copy and paste?
Your question is worded in a confusing way, so let me help you sort this out.When you highlight-copy text in MS Word, it appears in the Office Clipboard. On your PC, the text is being held in Random Access Memory (RAM) -- and remains there until your next copied text.After copying the text, then position your cursor at the insertion point, and paste.
