# Copying or Moving a Portion of an Image

You can select an area on a page and copy or move it as an image (bitmap). This image can be copied or moved to another DocuWorks document or to a document opened in another application as well as within the same document.
When you paste the copied or cut image to the [Annotation Toolbar Options] window, it becomes a bitmap annotation. The part from which the image was cut out is covered with a white rectangle or polygon annotation that you can move or delete.
