Microsoft Word 2003 Text Selecting and Moving
Paste Text with the Press of the INSERT key
Summary: Give your Insert key some use in Microsoft Word 2003 documents by having it paste text from the clipboard.
To paste text in a Microsoft Word 2003 document, you have several options, including:
1. Menu bar: "Edit" - "Paste"
2. CONTROL-V
3. SHIFT-INSERT
However, you can set up Microsoft Word 2003 so that merely tapping the INSERT key pastes information from the clipboard into your document.
Normally, the INSERT key toggles between insert and overwrite mode. If you place your cursor in the middle of a paragraph, tap the INSERT key, and begin typing, your keystrokes will overwrite the latter part of the paragraph instead of being inserted inside the paragraph. If you do not need or want this feature but would rather use the INSERT key as a handy paste shortcut, do the following:
1. Click "Tools", selecting "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Edit" tab.
3. Check "Use the INS key for paste".
4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
