Cut or copy data

When you use the Cut command, the data is removed from the document and placed on the clipboard. When copying, the selected contents of the document do not change and their copies are placed to the clipboard.

The data is cut and copied while maintaining formatting.

You can insert the data copied or cut into MyOffice Spreadsheet, as well as into other applications, such as MyOffice Text.

If you want to cut or copy data that contains an object (such as a shape or image), cut or copy the data and the object separately.

To cut the data, follow these steps:

1.Select the object you want to cut, or the cell, cell range, rows, or columns you want to cut the content from.

2.Run the Cut command in one of the following ways:

In the Edit menu, select Cut.

On the Toolbar, in the Edit section, click t_edit_cut Cut.

Right-click the selected object, cells or the titles/contents of the selected rows/columns to open the context menu. Select Cut from the context menu.

Press command Cmd+X.

In case filters are applied or columns or rows are manually hidden, only the content of visible cells is cut.

To copy the data, follow these steps:

1.Select the object you want to copy, or the cell, cell range, rows, or columns you want to copy the content from.

2.Run the copy command in one of the following ways:

In the Edit menu, select Copy.

On the Toolbar, in the Edit section, click t_edit_copy Copy.

Right-click the selected object, cells or the titles/contents of the selected rows/columns to open the context menu. Select Copy from the context menu.

Press command Cmd+C.

The copied cells, rows, or columns are highlighted by a dashed line frame. The frame automatically disappears the next time you paste the copied data.

If you want to remove the dashed line frame manually, press Esc.

Paste the last cut or copied data

You can paste previously copied or cut data from the clipboard. If a range of cells/rows/columns was copied or cut, the data will take the same size range when inserted.

Inserting data into non-empty cells or ranges deletes the previous data without warning. To retain existing data, use shift cell insertion.

You can paste data from the clipboard with or without preserving the original formatting.

To paste data while maintaining the original formatting, follow the steps below:

1.Select the place where you want to paste the data:

If the clipboard contains data from a single cell/row/column, select the cell/row/column where you want to paste the data.

If the clipboard contains a range of cells/rows/columns, select the appropriate size range or select the cell/row/column where you want to paste the contents of the first cell/row/column in the range.

The first cell for rows is the leftmost cell, for columns is the top cell, and for ranges is the leftmost top cell.

If the clipboard contains an object, select the cell to align the upper left corner of the object to.

2.Run the Paste command in one of the following ways:

In the Edit menu, select Paste.

On the Toolbar, in the Edit section, click t_edit_paste Paste.

Press command Cmd+V.

The following rules apply when pasting data without preserving the original formatting:

Only the text is pasted from the clipboard. For example, when you paste a shape with text or a link, only the text that these objects contain is pasted into the document.

If the clipboard contains a formula, only the result of the formula is pasted.

To paste data without the original formatting, follow the steps below:

1.Select the place where you want to paste the data:

If the clipboard contains data from a single cell/row/column, select the cell/row/column where you want to paste the data.

If the clipboard contains a range of cells/rows/columns, select the appropriate size range or select the cell/row/column where you want to paste the contents of the first cell/row/column in the range.

The first cell for rows is the leftmost cell, for columns is the top cell, and for ranges is the leftmost top cell.

If the clipboard contains an object with text, select the cell into which you want to paste the text.

2.Run the Paste command in one of the following ways:

In the Edit menu, select Paste Values Only.

On the Toolbar, select the Edit section and click the arrow to the right of the t_edit_paste Paste button. In the drop-down list, select Paste Values Only.
