Default Allow multiple discontinuous selections with ctrl at the same time

The Office Clipboard is available only to Office applications. It cannot be
used to make multiple selections from a Web page, which may well be what Jay
is asking about. Ctrl+select doesn't work on Web pages, either.

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.

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.

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.
