Impossible to use feature "cut and paste" in Word - grayed out. It can be activated?

No changes, or I've never used to cut or paste before.  Active need to send RESUMES to companies.

You must first select the text you want to cut or copy (by highlighting by scrolling on it with the left mouse held down).  When you do this the cut and copy options should become available (or you can press CTRL-X to cut or CTRL-C to copy).  Then go where you want and place the cursor and paste the text (or use CTRL-V).

If this does not work, then please repost in the Word Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wordcreate/threads where experts in Word will be happy to help you.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Highlighting of problem (cut and paste) on Word and Excel 2003

    Provided with the Sony desktop, wireless mouse worked fine until recently.  Now jumps when I try to highlight - won't hold the first characher, pass to another or simply releases.  Can sometimes, very carefully, get it to hold the string I want to point out.  Problem occurs everywhere, but especially on Word 2003 and Excel 2003.  I can't understand anything in the settings that resolves this problem.

    Any ideas?

    Hello RouteRunner,

    Thank you for your message.  First, you use an optical mouse, or you have a mouse that has the ball in the background?
    If you have an optical mouse, make sure that you are on a non-reflecting surface so that light does not reflect causing nervous behavior.
    If you have a mouse with the ball in the background, you can unscrew the support on the bottom and clean the inside of the mouse.  Dust accumulation can cause a nervous behavior.
    If none of them seem to be problems you are, you can check the sensitivity of your mouse by following the instructions below:
    Click on 'Start' > click 'Control Panel' > double-click "Mouse" > on the pointer Options tab, you can select a slower speed of the mouse.
    You can also download/install new drivers for your mouse.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Images lost during operations cut-and - paste from memory card on my computer

    I was moving pictures on my memory card in a folder in "my pictures" using the cut and paste.
    on my memory card and when I plugged my camera into my computer, the photos were in different files as the memory card has been put in two cameras; a samsung and a cannon. Some of the pictures so share the same name of the image.
    When I cut and pasted the warning came to say something in the sense of 'element already exists, replace the existing file' I clicked on "Yes to all" without thinking about it, and now I've lost the almost all of a folder of photos! And because they were cut out of the memory of the device, I can't think of a way to get back them.
    I tried many searches in my files to try and find / recover, but I have no idea where they would have gone!
    They are pictures of vacation and I really want to try to recover, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The following freeware may be able to recover files

    Paint is not sophisticated enough to do much more than that. Heh

  • Using phone dialer to dial a numer of toll-free by using cut and paste.

    I would like to use cut and paste to have phone dialer to my phone line. However, he continues to compose (ater, I turned off the phone card...?) 1-8-555-... It will not dial 00. Why? and why he would try to use a card to dial a toll-free number?  Thank you.

    Hello

    ·          Which application cut you and paste the number into the phone dialer?

    ·          Are you able to cut & paste any other number in the Dialer?

    You must use the canonical format to dial other numbers that the number cannot be dialed correctly.

    In Windows Vista computer, type the phone numbers in the following format:

    + (Area code) of theCountry/bounding Numeroabonne

    For example, this is the format for a Subscriber in the United States of America in canonical format:

    + 1 (nnn) nnn-nnnn

    For more information, see this link.

    Dialing rules may not be applied to tools such as Fax and phone dialer on Windows XP and Windows Vista-based computers

    2. Mark the pictures you want to copy.
    3. Press Ctrl + X to cut (or right click / cut)

  • Can you help me cut and paste using PS in CC?

    Hello!  I am new to using this forum and will admit from the outset that the understanding of the technical things is not my strength.  Here's my question: I used to have PS CS5.  When I would cut and paste images to make photo cards, I would give all select, copy, make a new Document, and then paste.  From there on, I was able to move the four photos where I wanted to.  When I got a new computer, I had to pass to CC.  I had a hard time with the cut and paste process since then.  At first I couldn't get an image to appear at all on the new document, when I tried to paste something I copied, but found that I could get something, if I first flattened the image.  Now, however, what I have copy includes all of the document, and if I try to make it smaller, it's cropping the image instead of making it smaller.   Anyone has a suggestion for me to try?  Thank you very much!

    1 copy the original image, go to the document you want to paste your image in.

    2. Press CMD + v to paste in it.

    3. you can use CMD + T to resize the image to the size you want for its size. Tip: Hold SHIFT while resizing and image dimensionnera without messing up the perspective.

    4. If you want to move your image after it sizing, press 'A', the abbreviation for the move tool and just move it to the location you would like. Make sure you have the layer with the image that you want to move selected in the layer panel.

    In the most recent version of Pages, I think that cutting and pasting of the tabs is available in all simply copy the tab character and paste it into the Find/Replace dialog box. (And a shortcut of 'Option-tab' inserts a "tab" character in the Find/Replace dialog box.)

    But cut and paste newlines or line returns no longer seem to work (or fact is old keyboard shortcut 'Option-return'.  This feature has gone completely outside, or modified or?

    Anyone know?

    Thank you!

    Option-tab peut be used in the dialog box search to search for a TAB

    I can select a tab in the text and paste it into the search box and it is as expected

    Shift + return produced a line break, and this also can be copied and pasted into the Find dialog box

    I can't locate 'Find & Replace"of carriage return anyway, page break, column etc. break section break that had Pages 09... most have disappeared when Apple introduced 5 Pages.
