Right, Beth. Until you put something in that part of your document, it doesn't exist...so, unless you hit your enter key a lot of times to create blank lines...or you insert a page break or something, Word won't let you paste outside of the document's limits The last place where you put something (even a space) is what Word considers the end of the document Linda F.

Can I cut a sentence for example from the beginning of my document and place on another part of my document - that I haven't typed in or used yet? I seem to be having trouble pasting in a new area - my paste always wants to go where I have been working in the document and I don't know why.....sorry for being so simple - but its the little things that get me - ya know? Thank you in advance.
