A word to the wise, it is better to copy than to cut as if you select control X and something happens to your computer at that exact time, it is gone forever. Just saying. Veronica

Then execute your ctrl-c or ctrl-x. Ctrl-v will paste the highlighted block as usual.

I was thinking there was another way to set the starting point of the text to be copied, and then after moving the cursor to the end of the text to be copied, another keyboard command is used. this Highlights all text between these two points in the document. Once the block has been highlighted, pressing CTRL-C then copies the entire Block to the Clipboard. You can also Cut the bock from the document too by using CTRL-X. Anyone else have a guess as to how to set these two points in the document?
