I. INTRODUCTION:
Cutting, copying, and pasting are
three of the most basic features available
to a computer user, but as you might
expect Microsoft Word gives you more
options than just those. There’s a built-in
Office clipboard that’s pretty powerful,
the ability to choose the format of
content you paste, and more. The “Paste” drop-down menu shows a few options as icons across the top.
From left to right these are:
[Link] OBJECTIVE: Keep Source Formatting: This is the default option you get when
pressing Ctrl+V, as described above.

PASTE TEXT original text. The text will take on the default formatting of the paragraph
into which you insert the text.
There are also a couple of other options on the “Paste” drop-down menu.
The “Paste Special” command lets you paste whatever you’ve copied as a
special document type. For example, you could paste as a Word document,
picture, or even HTML. The options available in the Paste Special window
change depending on what you’ve copied. If you copied text, for example, you
could insert it as a separate Word document. If you copied an image, you can
change the format of the image when you paste (which we’ll talk more about in
the next section).
The “Set Default Paste” option lets you change the default paste action (when
you press Ctrl+V) if you don’t want “Keep Source Formatting” to be the default.
PASTE IMAGES
When you paste an image into Word, it gives you some flexibility on the
format. Click Home > Paste > Paste Special (after copying an image) to see
the options.
You can also choose whether your pasted images default to “in line with text”
or a different text wrapping by going to File > Options > Advanced >
Insert/Paste Pictures As.
In this case, we’re pasting from the clipboard, so we can choose if we want the
pasted image to be in PNG or BitMap format. If we were pasting an image file,
we’d get the choice to embed it as a file or link to it instead (which lowers the
size of the document).
