Copy or Cut an Item in the Work Area

Copy an Item

You can make a copy of an item which you can then paste (How?)somewhere else - such as into another visual. Copying an item saves you from having to recreate it each time you want a copy of the item.

To copy an item (or several items), select it (How?) and click Copy in the Clipboard group of the Home tab. The copy will not be visible until you paste it somewhere.

You can paste the item by clicking Paste in the Clipboard group of the Home tab.

Cut an Item

You can also copy and remove an item from the Work Area at the same time using the Cut function. Just select the items you wish to cut and click Cut, found just above the Copy button.
