Moving text within a documet
I'm a bit hesitant to tell you how as this is a homework assignment on
formatting. Have you tried using Word's Help function? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "kalsobrooks" wrote in message ...

Moving text within a documet
Yes. When I highlight the text and try to copy and paste it where I want it
it does not end up where I have specified. I just don't know what to do other than just retype it in where I want it. When I copy and paste should the text not go where my cursor is?? I understand your hesitation. I don't see a function that will allow me to move text in any other way. Am I missing something?

If you've clicked there, yes. Is that text in a text box or just a "normal"
paragraph? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "kalsobrooks" wrote in message ... Yes.

Moving text within a documet
I do not know what a text box is but it is not a paragraph, It is the title,
author[s name, etc. I need to move it to the upper right hand corner of the document. When I copy and paste it is not going to the right spot. "JoAnn Paules" wrote: If you've clicked there, yes.

Moving text within a documet
Sounds like it's meant to be in the header, in which case you need to open
the header for editing. In Word 2003 and earlier, this is View | Header and Footer. In Word 2007, just double-click in the header area to activate it. -- Suzanne S.

Moving text within a documet
If you're trying to MOVE it, then you don't want copy & paste, you want cut
& paste. Select the text you want to move. Press Ctrl+X. Click where you want the text to reside, and press Ctrl+V. If you want to COPY it, then use Ctrl+C (Copy) instead of Ctrl+X (Cut). You can also use F2. Select the text you want to move, press F2, then click where you want it to move to, and then press Enter. You can also drag it. Select the text you want to move, then move the mouse over the selection, press and hold the left mouse button, and drag the text to the desired location, releasing the mouse button when you've reached the desired location. Note: of the three methods, this one is the trickiest to accomplish if the source and destination aren't both viewable onscreen at the same time. There are other ways to accomplish this as well. But, one of these should work for you unless your Word environment has become corrupted in some way. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "kalsobrooks" wrote in message ...

Block the text that you want to move, then hit cut. Put your cursor where you want the text to be inserted and hit paste. |
