Helpful hint, if your not comfortable with cutting and
pasting text. Make a back up copy of the document your
working on just in case. Remember you can use the Ctrl + Z
key to undo (restore) what you cut as long as you do not
close out of the original document.

If you leave the original document your system will ask you
if you want to save the changes to the document, if you say
"yes" the text you cut is removed from that document.
E-mails work a little different, you can copy from an open
email, but you cannot cut from it.
