You can copy text from a website, Word document, or mobile app, and paste it on Facebook. To copy text, highlight the text you wish to copy and click the paste button in the toolbar. This will paste the text in the correct location on your wall. You can also copy and paste entire paragraphs or entire posts. To do this, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Text_from_a_website\"><\/span>Text from a website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To copy and paste content into Facebook, you need to have a web browser. You can use the Ctrl or Command keys to copy and paste text. For Mac users, hold the Command key. For PC users, press the Ctrl key. You can then copy and paste the content into Facebook. Facebook is designed to make copying content as easy as possible. In fact, you can even copy and paste from your favorite website into Facebook messenger.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in copying and pasting text on Facebook is to select the text you want to copy. This is easier than it may sound. Usually, you can select a large portion of text by clicking and holding the first word and selecting the &#8220;copy&#8221; or &#8220;paste&#8221; option. Then, you can copy and paste the content into Facebook or any other app or document.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Text_from_a_Word_document\"><\/span>Text from a Word document<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Microsoft Word, open up the &#8220;Edit&#8221; menu and choose &#8220;Paste.&#8221; You should now see just the copied text. All other elements are gone. You can also copy and paste text from another document or app. Now, you can paste this text to Facebook. This article shows you how to do this on Windows and Mac. Follow these steps to paste text from Word on Facebook. Alternatively, you can also use the &#8220;Ctrl&#8221; and &#8220;Command&#8221; keys to paste text from other apps or documents.<\/p>\n<p>When you paste text from a Word document onto Facebook, you should make sure to preserve formatting. Facebook penalizes content that is copied from other websites. Besides, Facebook is actively reducing posts linking to low-quality sites. Moreover, it also wants its users&#8217; content to remain fresh, which is why it&#8217;s essential to use original, un-copied content whenever possible. To keep formatting intact, copy and paste the text from a Word document.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Text_from_a_Facebook_app\"><\/span>Text from a Facebook app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to copy and paste text from a page on Facebook is relatively simple. To do this, you first need to locate the text on the page where you want to paste the text. Then you can either click on the text field and select it or press the Control or Command keys on your keyboard. In either case, you&#8217;ll need to install the clipboard application in your computer before you can copy and paste text.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using an Android device, you can try this method. First, open the Facebook app on your phone and log in using a mobile browser. Once you&#8217;re logged in, hold the text you want to copy and press the Ctrl key on your keyboard. If you want to copy multiple lines of text, you can copy and paste it using the mobile browser. Once you&#8217;re done, you can move the text to the clipboard and paste it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Text_from_a_mobile_app\"><\/span>Text from a mobile app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Facebook mobile app allows you to copy and paste text, from any post or message, into the application. However, unlike the desktop app, there is no way to paste text from an image, which means you will have to screenshot it and process it with an OCR app. This is a time-consuming process, but the result is the same &#8211; you can paste any text anywhere on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>On Android, the process is slightly different. To copy text, you must hold down the text box for 2 seconds. The text box will highlight and you can then select the text you want. Select the icon you want to paste from the menu. You may also see icons in place of text. If so, simply select them and tap paste. Once you&#8217;re done, the text will be copied to your clipboard.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"257\" width=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OnMXAKSjHzM\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Copy and Paste on Facebook?
