F12 Copy

The following is a description of the copy command:

Position the cursor at the line in front of where the copied text will be inserted (or on top of where the copied text will be overlaid).

Enter the name of the document you wish to copy. If the document exists, it will be displayed and you will be allowed to edit the document. If the document is a cut text block, you will be given the option to save the changes. If the document requested does not exist, then the copy request will be canceled.

You will be given an option to insert or overlay the copied document.
