Keyboard Shortcuts in MS-Word

• Ctrl + X is the shortcut command for Cut, which removes the selected text from its original location and places it onto the system clipboard.

• Ctrl + V is the shortcut command for Paste, which inserts the contents of the clipboard into the new cursor position.

• Together, this sequence (Cut and Paste) results in the paragraph being moved from its original spot to the new location. (If the user wanted to keep the original text, they would use Ctrl + C for Copy instead of Ctrl + X).
