Word should allow multiple copy and paste saves at one time
Hello
My name is Jason Staniforth and I have an idea for Microsoft word use improvement. I find that when copy and pasting text or information, sometimes I want text sections and pictures that are spread over the page and I don’t want to copy the boarder or the adverts in between. To overcome this, I feel that allowing a method to copy and save small sections quickly and easily would greatly benefit people that are doing research or copying addresses names and numbers. Something similar to highlighting the selected section, holding Ctrl and C and then pressing 1. Then selecting the next item and holding Ctrl and C and pressing 2. Then repeat the process from 1 to 0. To past would be the same way by holding Ctrl and V and then flicking through the numbers 1 to 0 show you what bit has been copied so that you don’t have to remember what number copied which part, then let go of Ctrl and V and the digit once you have selected the right copied section. I would like your feedback if possible. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word should allow multiple copy and paste saves at one time
This is already possible. You can select discontinuous portions of a
document by selecting the first and then pressing Ctrl while selecting others. When you have the desired portions selected, you can Copy and then Paste. Each copied selection (if part of a paragraph) will be pasted as a separate paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

Note that the ability to select text discontinuously was introduced in Word
2002 (or perhaps Word 2003?), so it wasn't possible when you started using Word. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Opinicus" wrote in message ... On Fri, 23 Apr 2010 06:19:02 -0500, "Suzanne S.

I know it was no later than Word 2002 and may even have been earlier. I
don't often use the feature, and in fact it more often gets in my way when I go to use Ctrl+click to select a sentence and find that it doesn't work because I already have text selected elsewhere. -- Suzanne S.

It wasn't possible in Word 2000, so it must have been Word 2002 then.
I have to admit I don't really use the feature either. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Allow multiple discontinuous selections with ctrl at the same time
Well, sounds not everyone here express the same topic. :-)
The subject (see above, I changed the subject) is clearly expressed what we should say. I agree with Suzanne S. The topic is gonig to suggest select discontinuous part while hold ctrl, thus, word could allow copy multiple discontinuous selections to paste board. Jay's point is by design, which is going to mark copy text as a numeric flag, then people could easily paste it by typing the number. However, it has nothing to do with the subject. Another reason, it has already implemented. It will record the lastest dozen copy text in paste board. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This is already possible.
