You can also copy text in a field into the clipboard and paste it to any other place. To copy a field text, do the following.

1. Move the cursor to the start of the block you want to mark.

2. Holding down the shift key, press the arrow keys to highlight the block of text you want to mark.

3. Keeping the Shift key held down, press Insert to make a copy of the marked text.

Or

Press Delete to cut the marked text.

4. Move to the field where you want to paste the text.

5. Hold down the Shift key and press Insert.

Pasting with Overstrike mode on leaves the cursor where it is. Pasting in Insert mode moves the cursor to the end of the pasted section. This speeds up report and table editing.
