Cut Tool

For deleting objects from a page, while placing them on the clipboard so that they may be pasted in again elsewhere.

Note: VTS also allows you to use keyboard shortcuts to select, copy, and paste multiple objects, as described in Working with Objects.

The only visible result of using the cut tool by itself is to remove the selected object(s) from the page.  To reproduce them elsewhere in the application you will also need to use the paste too, described in the next section:
