What copy and paste carries inside the document and across applications.

## Within the same document [#within-the-same-document]

Copy and paste keeps paragraph and character formatting, tabs, breaks, images, links, and tables,
and a copied grid of cells pasted over selected cells fills them in place.
Comment markers and bookmarks are dropped where the copy is pasted, and a copied footnote or
endnote reference is pasted with a copy of its note; cutting commented text leaves the comment
behind, the way [deleting the text](https://docx-editor.portone.io/docs/features/comments-and-notes.md#deleting-commented-text)
does.

## Pasting from elsewhere [#pasting-from-elsewhere]

Pasting from another document or application keeps supported character formatting, paragraphs,
line breaks, links, tables, and common lists, including the lists Word writes as plain paragraphs;
heading styles are matched to the destination document.
Pasted tables use equal-width columns across the destination section's body width; their source
column widths are not retained.
Pasted text fills every selected table cell.
Unreadable content falls back to the clipboard's plain text, or leaves the selection intact.

## Copying to other applications [#copying-to-other-applications]

A copy carries the text, its styles, tables, images, and links, and none of the document's own
markup, comment authorship, or note bodies.

## Plain text and the context menu [#plain-text-and-the-context-menu]

`Mod+Shift+V` pastes the clipboard's plain text, ignoring any formatting and images.
Right-click Paste accepts formatted text and images.
