Copy/paste data, undo/redo your actions

Use basic clipboard operations

To cut, copy and paste selected objects (slides, text passages, autoshapes) in the current presentation or undo/redo your actions use the corresponding options from the right-click menu, or keyboard shortcuts, or icons available at any tab of the top toolbar:

• Cut – select an object and use the Cut option from the right-click menu to delete the selection and send it to the computer clipboard memory. The cut data can be later inserted to another place in the same presentation.
• Copy – select an object and use the Copy option from the right-click menu or the Copy
  icon at the top toolbar to copy the selection to the computer clipboard memory. The copied object can be later inserted to another place in the same presentation.
• Paste – find the place in your presentation where you need to paste the previously copied object and use the Paste option from the right-click menu or the Paste
  icon at the top toolbar. The object will be inserted at the current cursor position. The object can be previously copied from the same presentation.

In the online version, the following key combinations are only used to copy or paste data from/into another presentation or some other program, in the desktop version, both the corresponding buttons/menu options and key combinations can be used for any copy/paste operations:

• Ctrl+C key combination for copying;
