How To Copy a table

How To Copy a table

1. In print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.), rest the pointer on the upper-left corner of the table until the table move handle appears.
2. Press CTRL, and drag the table to a new location.

Note  You can also copy a table by selecting it and then copying and pasting.

How to Drag information between programs

You can move or copy information, or you can create a linked object (linked object: An object that is created in a source file and inserted into a destination file, while maintaining a connection between the two files. The linked object in the destination file can be updated when the source file is updated.), a shortcut (shortcut: An icon that points to a program or file that is stored in another location.), or a hyperlink (hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web page on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet, and FTP sites.) between documents in different programs by using drag-and-drop editing. Both programs must support OLE (OLE: A program-integration technology that you can use to share information between programs. All Office programs support OLE, so you can share information through linked and embedded objects.).

1. Arrange the program windows so that both the source file (source file: The file that contains information that was used to create a linked or embedded object. When you update the information in the source file, you can also update the linked object in the destination file.) and the destination file (destination file: The file that a linked or embedded object is inserted into. The source file contains the information that is used to create the object. When you change information in a destination file, the information is not updated in the source file.) are open and visible. You must be able to see the information you want to drag as well as the location where you want to drop it.
2. Select the information, and then use the right mouse button to drag the selection to the new location in the other program.
3. On the shortcut menu, click the command you want.

Move or copy linked text boxes

You can copy or move a story to another document or to another location in the same document. You must include all the linked text boxes in a story.

1. Switch to print layout view Select the first text box in a story. To do this, move the pointer over the border of the text box until the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, and then click the border.
2. Hold down SHIFT and select each additional text box you want to copy or move.
3. On the Standard toolbar click Copy or Cut.
4. Click where you want to copy or move the text boxes.
5. On the Standard toolbar, click Paste.

Note  To copy or move some text from a story without copying the text box, select the text you want, and then copy or cut it. Do not select the text box.
