Summary

Despite all that we covered in this chapter, shockingly, we didn't cover everything there is to know about copying and pasting in Word. But for most business professionals, the information covered in this chapter will suffice. For most users, figuring out which paste options to use and when is the most difficult task. That is, assuming they see those options appear in the first place. Other tools such as the Word Clipboard and changing default paste options are really more for power and pro Word users.

If you ever get stuck with anything in Word (not just with copying and pasting), there is an entire community of fellow Office users like you—business professionals, academics, teachers, students, and retirees—who would love to help answer any questions you may have.

One great place to go on the web for help is the Microsoft Community forums:
