Moving Text

When text is moved, the selected text does not remain in its original position, as it does when copied. There are three methods for moving text that correspond to the three methods for copying text.

Delete and insert is a method we have already seen.

Move, in which you select text first and then choose the insertion point, corresponds to copy. To invoke move, hold down the Ctrl key (instead of the Shift key for copy) and click the left mouse button.

Extract, in which you choose the insertion point first and then select text, corresponds to duplicate. Press F5 (instead of F4) to enter extract mode. Press it again to complete the extraction (and end extract mode).

Try all three variations of move and copy.
