How to Copy and Paste Documents Into Microsoft Access

The "Copy" and "Paste" commands save time and increase productivity. You can copy and paste items into a Microsoft Access document just as you would copy and paste into other Windows applications. According to the Microsoft Office website, the only difference is that the data you want to copy must "be arranged in a spreadsheet or table, or separated by tab characters, before you select it."

Instructions

1. Launch the program of the document you want to copy.

2. Open the document.

3. Select the item(s) you wish to copy.

4. Open the "Edit" menu and select the "Copy" command.

5. Open Microsoft Access.

6. Open the "Edit" menu.

7. Select "Paste Append" from the drop-down commands that appear.
