ByFor example if there was a sentence that had 6 paragraphs in it and I want cut and paste 3 of the paragraphs how would I do that without having to copy all 6 of the paragraphs?

You can not do it all at one time, unless you have another program, add-on or app running in the background, that will allow you to select nonconsecutive blocks of text, by holding down CTRL, so that you can click each item you want to select.
What I would do is to:
1) Click at the start of the selection(1st word 1st paragraph), scroll to the end of the selection(last word 6th paragraph), and then hold down SHIFT and click
2) Right-click over selection choose copy
3) Right-click over insertion location choose paste
4) Click & hold at the start of the selection(1st word 2nd paragraph) and drag the cursor until the last word is highlighted or similarly repeat step 1 if scrolling is more easily assessable.
5) Right-click over selection choose delete
6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 for both the 4th & 5th paragraph at once.

I would toggle back a forth between windows to copy & paste each needed paragraph.

1 Point your mouse over the first letter you want to copy.
2 Left click on your mouse.
3 Keep your finger on the left click side of your mouse.
4 Drag the mouse along until the whole amount you need to copy and paste is within the highlighted blue area.
5 Let go of the left hand side of the mouse.
6 Right click on your mouse and select “copy”.
7 Put your mouse where you when to copy it to.
8 Right click on your mouse.
9 Click on paste.
The same instructions apply to a sensor pad, as far as I know.
You can paste the paragraph(s) as many times as you like whilst it is held in the memory or until you copy something else.

Put your mouse near the beginning of the first sentence, click and drag to highlight a portion to be copied. (While selection is highlighted) click on Edit in the upper right-hand corner of screen. Scroll to copy and click. Click the mouse where you’d like to insert the text. Click Edit, scroll to Paste and click. Repeat for following sections.

What I do is open a notepad on my desktop and paste those sentences onto the notepad and when I am ready I go back and copy/paste to wherever its needed.
