Copy something without retyping it
Move a reference number or an address from one place to another without typing a character.
Copy takes a second version of what you chose. Paste puts it down somewhere else. The first never moves.
That is why copying is safe, and why a long reference number never has to be typed twice.
Key points
- Copy makes a second version and leaves the first where it was
- Paste puts that version wherever you are working
What to remember
- Copy reads. It never removes.
- Copy leaves the original. Cut is the one that takes it away.
Try this
Copy your own address from anywhere on your device, then paste it into a blank message and close it.
