<li><b>Cut</b> select a text fragment or an object and use the <b>Cut</b> option from the right-click menu to delete the selected text and send it to the computer clipboard memory. <span class="onlineDocumentFeatures">The cut text can be later inserted to another place in the same document.</span></li>
<li><b>Copy</b> select a text fragment or an object and use the <b>Copy</b> option from the right-click menu, or the <b>Copy</b> <img alt="Copy icon" src="../images/copy.png" /> icon on the top toolbar to copy the selected text to the computer clipboard memory. <span class="onlineDocumentFeatures">The copied text can be later inserted to another place in the same document.</span></li>
