Paste unformatted text
Pastes any text on the clipboard into your document without any formatting.
Paste in place (Ctrl+Shift+V)
The same as Paste, except your object will be pasted in the exact same position from which you copied it. This is useful for moving objects from one layer or page to another, without changing its X/Y position
Paste format/attributes (Ctrl+Shift+A)
Preserves the format (e.g., font and font size) or style attributes (e.g., line and fill color) of the pasted object.
Paste position
This option applies the position of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected object, which moves to the exact same position as the copied object.
Paste size
This option applies the size of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected object, which resizes around its center to the exact size of the copied object.
Paste size and position
As the name suggests, this option applies both the size and exact position of the object on the clipboard, to the selected object.
Paste replacing selection
This is similar to Paste position, except that the copied object on the clipboard replaces the currently selected object and retains the deleted item's position. The copied object is pasted into the center position of the deleted object.
Paste in current layer
The same as Paste in place, except your object will only be pasted into the current layer.
Paste in place in current layer
The same as Paste in current layer, except your object will be pasted into the current layer in the exact same position from which you copied it.
Paste opacity mask (Ctrl+Shift+M) (Designer Pro & Photo & Graphic Designer only)
See Opacity Masks.
Paste opacity mask in place (Designer Pro & Photo & Graphic Designer only)

Delete (Edit & Standard control bars or Delete)
Or right click and choose Delete.

Find/Replace (Ctrl+Alt+F)
Find/Replace for text objects, see chapter Text Handling, section Find & Replace.
Duplicate (Edit control bar or Ctrl+Alt+D)
Or right click and choose Duplicate.
Copy the selected object placing the copy slightly offset from the original. The copy becomes the selected object. The offset distance can be customized (see Customizing Designer).
Clone (Ctrl+K)
Like Duplicate copies the selected object, but places the copy directly over the original. The copy becomes the selected object.
