<h1>Cut/copy/paste data</h1>
<h3>Use basic clipboard operations</h3>
<p>To cut, copy and paste data in the current spreadsheet make use of the right-click menu or use the corresponding icons at the top toolbar,</p>
<ul>
<li><p><b>Cut</b> - select data and use the <b>Cut</b> option from the right-click menu to delete the selected data and send them to the computer clipboard memory. The cut data can be later inserted to another place in the same spreadsheet.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Copy</b> - select data and either use the <b>Copy</b> <img alt="Copy icon" src="../images/copy.png" /> icon at the top toolbar or right-click and select the <b>Copy</b> option from the menu to send the selected data to the computer clipboard memory. The copied data can be later inserted to another place in the same spreadsheet.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Paste</b> - select a place and either use the <b>Paste</b> <img alt="Paste icon" src="../images/paste.png" /> icon at the top toolbar or right-click and select the <b>Paste</b> option to insert the previously copied/cut data from the computer clipboard memory to the current cursor position. The data can be previously copied from the same spreadsheet.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>To copy or paste data from/into another spreadsheet or some other program use the following key combinations:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Ctrl+X</b> key combination for cutting;</li>
<li><b>Ctrl+C</b> key combination for copying;</li>
<li><b>Ctrl+V</b> key combination for pasting.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: instead of cutting and pasting data within the same worksheet you can select the necessary cell/range of cells, hover the mouse cursor over the selection border so that it turns into the <img alt="Arrow icon" src="../images/arrow.png" /> icon and drag and drop the selection to the necessary position.</p>
<h3>Use Auto Fill option</h3>
<p>To quickly fill multiple cells with the same data use the <b>Auto Fill</b> option:</p>
<ol>
<li>select a cell/range of cells containing the necessary data,</li>
<li>move the mouse cursor over the fill handle in the right lower corner of the cell. The cursor will turn into the black cross:
<p><img alt="Auto Fill" src="../images/autofill.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>drag the handle over the adjacent cells you want to fill with the selected data.</li>
</ol>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: if you need to create a series of numbers (such as 1, 2, 3, 4...; 2, 4, 6, 8... etc.) or dates, you can enter at least two starting values and quickly extend the series selecting these cells and dragging the fill handle. </p>
