| The Edit menu (Figures 32 and 33) includes commands for modifying the contents of a document. Here's a quick list of the commands you're likely to find, along with their standard keyboard equivalents: Undo () reverses the last editing action you made. Redo () reverses the last undo. Cut () removes a selection from the document and puts a copy of it in the Clipboard. Copy () puts a copy of a selection in the Clipboard. Paste () inserts the contents of the Clipboard into the document at the insertion point or replaces selected text in the document with the contents of the Clipboard. Clear or Delete removes a selection from the document. This is the same as pressing when document contents are selected. Select All () selects all text or objects in the document.
