Actually, Les, either will work. They are both just methods for transferring blocks of text. Cut and paste removes the text from the area in which you are taking it from, and copy leaves a version on, in this case, the clipboard that you created it on. I usually use copy (Ctrl+C) just in case I need to go back and re-copy. Using that command leaves a copy there. Had I used Cut (Ctrl+x) it would have taken it off the original. Just a safety precaution.

All the best,
