In computing, an editing function available in most office suite applications. Objects (including text and graphics) can be deleted from their current position (cut) and reinserted (pasted) at some other point, including in another application. The cut material is stored on a clipboard held in RAM memory, and thus lost when the computer is switched off. Since the late 1990s versions of Microsoft Office allow several ‘cuts’ to be stored simultaneously. Previously, any new ‘cut’ overwrote the previous one.

Orange represents courage and sacrifice. White represents truth, purity, and peace. Green represents faith, fertility, and chivalry. The emblem is the Ashoka Chakra (‘Wheel of the Law’). Effective date: 22 July 1947. >>
