How to Move or Copy Data in Word and Outlook without using the Clipboard

Did you know that you can move and copy items without using the Clipboard?  This is to say, you can move and copy data without removing the existing clipboard item.  I personally use this trick quite often and you might find it handy as well, depending on your workflow.

To Move an Item

1. Select the item you wish to move.
2. Press F2.
3. Set the insertion point where you wish to place the item.
4. Press the Enter key.

If you wish to copy the item rather than move it, use the Shift + F2 keystroke combination.

Note that this only works in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook
