About This Feature
Overview
Copy, paste, and cut are basic editing actions in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. They help you reuse, move, and reorganize cell content during everyday table editing.
Core tasks include:
- Copy cells: Copy the content in selected cells for repeated entry or reuse in another area.
- Paste cells: Paste copied or cut content into a target location, usually with content and formatting together.
- Cut cells: Move content from its original location to a new one when you need to adjust layout.
Common use cases include organizing data tables, reusing repeated values, and moving row or column content on a phone.
