I do a lot of editing in PC Word 2007, where I very frequently need to copy a selection and paste it elsewhere. Of course, there's a way to drag a selection to elsewhere, but that moves it and doesn't copy it. I have to use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.


I'd like some guidance as to how to create a macro where I could select some text, hold down a key (or two) and drag the selection to copy it into another place, leaving the original text in place.


I'm reasonably familiar with VBA, so I can code it myself, but I'm not sure which terms are needed to carry out the action.


Thanks in advance for any hints.

Hold the CTRL key while you drag and drop and the text is copied to the new location rather than moved.
