Word 2003 supports the discontinuous selection of text, and in the process of copying and pasting, the author finds an interesting phenomenon: the pasting order of text is related to the order of selection or the location of the copy. Give an example to illustrate, as shown in Figure 1 (for clarity, each part is set to red and numbered).

Figure 1

Suppose you want to select all the red text in your diagram now and copy and paste it to another location, and you can choose the first section first, then hold down the CTRL key and drag the other parts.

The author found that when performing copy and paste, the operation method is different, the result is different.

Copy directly with the CTRL + C key (or click the Copy button on the Standard toolbar) or perform "edit" → "copy", the following are the same, slightly, paste in the new location, not the order in which they appear in the document, but follow the order of choice ( Word should have a memory function for the order of choice. For example, select the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 text in Figure 1, then paste with Ctrl + C, and then the order is 1, 2, 3, 5, 4.

But this order is not static. Still select text in the order of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 4, position the mouse pointer over the selection with the number 3, right-click, perform "copy" (hereinafter referred to as "right click Copy"), and paste to find that the 3rd content in the final, order into 1, 2, 4, 5, 3! As shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

Here's a full test, as follows:

1. Create a new document, use document 1 to store the test text, and document 2 to display the effect of the paste.

Test:

2. Check the discontinuous text in order numbered 1, 3, 5, 2, 4.

3. Right-click the copy on item number 3 to keep the selected status of document 1 in Chinese (the following are the same).

4. Switch to document 2, paste, as previously summarized, in order 1, 4, 5, 2, 3.

5. Switch to document 1, right-click the copy on item 1, switch to document 2, paste, Change Order to 3, 4, 5, 2, 1.

6. Switch to document 1, right-click the copy on item 5, then move to item 2, right-click Copy again, switch to document 2, paste in order: 3, 4, 1, 5, 2.

Analysis Step 6th, the first copy, although not pasted, but the project order has changed to: 3, 4, 1, 2, 5. After the second copy and paste, the order becomes 3, 4, 1, 5, 2.

  Conclusion:

1. Under the premise of keeping the text selected in the original document, there is the following pasting rule: The last item of the previous copy (the first selection for the last item) will be swapped with the right-click item in the Copy place.

2. After deselect, select the same discontinuous content again, the above pasting rule will restart
