The term "copy-and-paste" refers to the popular, simple method of reproducing [[Character (computing)|text]] or other [[data]] from a source to a destination. It differs from cut and paste in that the original source text or data does not get deleted or removed. The popularity of this method stems from its simplicity and the ease with which users can move data between various applications visually – without resorting to [[Disk storage|permanent storage]].
