It depends on how exactly you mean. If you are talking about plagiarism, there are pieces of software than can check through a document and find similar text on the internet where it may have been copied from. Academic institutions use these kinds of software to check student projects, to ensure the work is their own and has not been copied from somewhere without being credited to the original author. If you are talking about knowing if an ordinary piece of text has been copied from another document or even from another part of the same document then it cannot be done. You cannot detect the actual copying process. So unless you can prove that the same text exists somewhere else and it has been plagiarised, by either a direct copy and paste, or even just being typed in, then there is no way of knowing if text has been copied and pasted, compared to text typed directly into a document.
