MOVING TEXT TO A NEW LOCA nON
Frequently editing changes call for moving text from one location to another.
Perhaps the first paragraph is to be put at the end, or a paragraph in the middle of
the document is to be moved to the beginning. You can use the move block command
to move it quickly and easily from its old location to the new location.
Moving text is a two step process. First, you mark the beginning and end of the block
of text. Then you move the cursor to the new location for the text and give the move
block command.
The commands that you'll use are on the Block Menu (//2 on the
Main Menu).

When you mark a paragraph as a block, be sure you include the punctuation and
carrier returns at the end. Moving these with the paragraph will separate it from
other text in its new location.
