Hello,

Can anybody please tell me how we can copy and paste text from a word document into a text file that we are editing in vi? Is it possible to do that while we are editing the text file in vi in insert mode?

Thanks,

copy all word doc.
vi new_file.txt
change to insert mode (press i), insert copied text (which in the memory).
It should work.

Are you asking how to open a word doc then copy and paste it into a text file using vi? is this from a GUI or terminal? otherwise if you want to copy you should be able to use ctrl+c and then use shift+insert to paste in most cases.

I am using a remote terminal (Putty). I tried the ctrl-c and shift-insert and it worked.

Thanks so much,
