To delete a block of text, first highlight what you want to remove, and then press either delete or backspace.

1. Select the text,
   
2. To copy text, use the icon on the Standard Toolbar or go to Edit/Copy (Ctrl+C)

   To move text, use the icon on the Standard Toolbar or go to Edit/Cut (Ctrl+X),
   
3. Move the cursor to the location where you want the text moved or copied,
