b. Editing Commands

The basic functions for editing documents are pooled.

Undo

Cancels an action and returns the document its previous state before the action.

The Undo button can be pressed repeatedly to cancel previous actions. If there are no previous actions, the button does nothing. 
Also, if you have just opened a document and performed no actions or have undone all actions, the button does nothing.

Redo

Restores actions which have been canceled by the Undo command. Like the Undo command, it can be used multiple times to cancel multiple undo commands. If the undo command has not been used, this command has no effect.

Cut

Copies selected content to the clipboard, then deletes it from the document. The content which has been copied to the clipboard can be then inserted in a different place using the Paste command.

Copy

Copies selected content to the clipboard while leaving it as it is in the document. The content which has been copied to the clipboard can be then inserted in a different place using the Paste command.

Each time you copy content to the clipboard, it overwrites the content which previously existed on the clipboard.

In CrossEditor version 4, you can select and copy an image in an MS Office document.
However, you can do so in Internet Explorer 11 or higher, Chrome, Firefox or Opera; and MS Office 2007 or higher is compatible with CrossEditor version 4.

Paste

Inserts content which has been saved on the clipboard (via the Copy or Cut commands) in the location of the cursor.

In CrossEditor version 4, you can paste images copied from an MS Office document.
