To use the arrow keys to move to another cell, first press Enter to complete your editing changes to the active cell.

Select the cell or range of cells that contains the values, cell formats, or formulas that you want to copy. Select the upper-left cell of the paste area or the cell where you want to paste the value, cell format, or formula.
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the arrow below Paste , and then do one of the following:. Note: If the copied formulas contain relative cell references, Excel adjusts the references and the relative parts of mixed cell references in the duplicate formulas.
If the copied formulas contain absolute cell references, the references in the duplicate formulas are not changed. If you do not get the results that you want, you can also change the references in the original formulas to either relative or absolute cell references and then recopy the cells.
When you paste copied data, the pasted data uses the column width settings of the target cells. To correct the column widths so that they match the source cells, follow these steps.

Copying makes a duplicate of a file or directory into a new location.
The following command creates a copy of file1 and names it as file2. If the file2 already exists, it will be overridden with the new content. Moreover, it is possible to copy a file to a new location by specifying the destination location.
The following command copies a file to the new directory. When copying files or directories, the original content will not be affected. Therefore, the user can see the original file or the directory at the initial location. Moving transfers the original files or directories from one location to another.
It deletes the content from the first location and creates content in a new location. Figure 1: Files and Directories. In Linux, the mv command is used to move a file or a directory to a new location. The contents of the clipboard will be pasted in the spreadsheet so that the selected cell becomes the top left corner of the selection.
This will also copy the formatting of the original selection. If you are pasting a selection which was copied to the clipboard buffer, all relative cell references in all formulas will change as described in Section 5.
The selection remains in the clipboard buffer so that it can be pasted again. The original selection will remain outlined with "marching ants" border. If you are pasting a selection which was cut to the clipboard buffer, all cell references in all formulas will remain unchanged.
The original selection will be removed from the workbook and the clipboard buffer will be cleared. All of the methods described above to move or copy data create identical copies of the original cells in the new location.

The user can choose to limit the pasting to only the cell contents no cell formatting is copied or the opposite only cell formats copied no contents.
Furthermore, the user can insert the selection while transforming all the contents into values only. Formulas will be replaced by their values. A second set of choices allows the user to perform simple mathematical operations during the paste. These operations use the current contents of the cells in the paste range and the contents of the clipboard.
Choosing option None will just replace the previous contents of the cells by the contents of the clipboard buffer this is the default behavior.
