What is copying a document in word processing?

Copying a document in word processing refers to duplicating the content of a document so that it can be pasted elsewhere. This can be done by selecting the text or images in the document and using the copy function (usually Ctrl + C on a keyboard) to save a duplicate of the selected content to the clipboard. The copied content can then be pasted (Ctrl + V) into another location within the same document or into a different document.
