HELP: How do I rewrite my word-processed text?

Your word processing program will help you to rewrite your text by using the CUT, COPY, PASTE and move or drag text options. Many of these options are also included as icons on the standard toolbar.

You can easily use your word processing program to help you rewrite essays or tests. For example, the following graphic illustrates how you can COPY text from an exam question.

And then PASTE the text into your own work. This is one way to ensure that you are using the language of the question in your answers.

Pasting Text

You can also use the CUT command to help you rewrite a text. For example, the following graphic shows how to cut text from a later portion of the text.
