Cut

1. To remove an item from the current location to a temporary alternate location, generally called the clipboard, and then having the capability of pasting that item to another location. Only programs that allow text to be removed can be cut, other programs will only enable a user to copy. For example, you can cut text from any non-protected word processor file. However, you cannot cut text from a read-only word processor file.
   
   To cut text follow the below steps.
   1. Highlight the text you wish to cut, this could be one word, one line, a paragraph or all of the text in the document.
   2. Click Edit from the top menu in the program and click Cut
      
      or
      
      Right-click the selected text and select cut.
      
      
   3. Once the above steps have been done the text will be moved into a temporary area known as the clipboard. You can then paste the text any number of times into any other document until something else is moved into the clipboard.
