Copying parts of a drawing
To copy parts of a drawing in MS Paint, you can use the selection tool to choose the region you want to copy. First, draw a box around the area you want to copy by clicking and dragging your cursor—you'll see a dotted border appear around the selected area. Once you've enclosed the area, release your mouse button.
Next, from the Edit menu, choose the "Copy" option, then select "Paste" from the same menu. A duplicate of the selected portion will appear in the upper-left corner of your screen. You can now drag and drop this portion anywhere you like within the document or even into another program.
