Professor Geek eBooks will do our best to help you out with shortcut keys for Excel, Word, and Windows (most keys work the same in all Microsoft programs and Windows). Some of our installments will be simple, some more complicated and will require extensive explanations. Our first installment is about keys used to copy and paste.
When you have selected something in a Microsoft program or generally anyone else's program, you can copy what you have selected onto the clipboard by press Ctrl-C (hold the control key down and press C). Once it's on the clipboard you can positions the cursor some other place in the current program or in some other program and then press Ctrl-V to paste what was captured into the new position. For example, if you select a paragraph in Word, or several cells in Excel and then press Ctrl-C, a copy of the selection will be placed on Windows clipboard. Then when you move to some other position in the same program or a different program and press Ctrl-V, the selection will appear in the new location.
If you want to have the selection only in the new location (move it instead of copy it), use Ctrl-X instead of Ctrl-C and the selection will be placed on the clipboard and deleted from the current location.
