Cutting text in a document involves removing the selected text from its original location and placing it in the clipboard, ready to be pasted elsewhere. This action deletes the text from its original location.
Copying text in a document involves duplicating the selected text and placing it in the clipboard, without removing it from its original location. This allows the text to be pasted in multiple locations without deleting the original text.
