Pasting into a Region Using the Paste Special Command
You can also paste objects into a defined region using the Paste Special command. You
have three choices for how the “paste into” is performed. You can insert, pushing the
existing region down in time; overwrite the existing contents of the region; or exchange
the existing objects with the Clipboard contents. In all these cases, the pasted objects
never exceed the duration of the region they are pasted into.
