    To paste the recipe onto a blank page in Word, use these steps depending on where the recipe is coming from.

    1. Copy the recipe text
      • With the recipe visible (for example in a web page or email), drag the mouse over the text to highlight it.
      • Press Ctrl + C on the keyboard to copy.
    2. Open Word and create a blank page
      • Open Word.
      • Create or open the document where the recipes are kept.
      • If a new page is needed, place the cursor at the end of the current page and press Ctrl + Enter to insert a page break, or use Insert > Blank Page.
    3. Paste the recipe into Word
      • Click once on the blank page where the recipe should go so the cursor is blinking there.
      • Press Ctrl + V to paste.
      • After pasting, if formatting looks odd, use the small Paste Options button that appears under the pasted text to choose whether to keep the original formatting or paste as plain text.

    If pasting from Word for the web (in a browser) and it does not paste:

    1. Make sure the document is in Edit mode, not Reading view.
    2. If a message appears about clipboard access in the browser, allow clipboard access for the site (Office.com) in the browser’s site permissions.
