Would this be plagarism?

I asked a question last week about an essay for school. I am majoring in Elementary Ed and we have an essay to do (more here:https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20200...

Anyway, I don't have access to any typing icons on my laptop and would really rather not pay for it (though I will if I need to). Will I be able to copy and paste my essay from Google Drive to a Word Document or will I need to completely retype my essay? (I have not finished typing it yet. so it won't be terrible if I cannot copy and paste.) Thank you for your help

    That's no plagiarism! You really need to spend the 5-10 minutes it takes to learn what is plagiarism and how to avoid it. Seriously!

    It is the content that would be plagiarised, not the actual text. As long as you produced the content you can copy and paste it wherever you want.

    I'm not sure why you're asking us Sarah, it would take you all of 10 seconds to actually test whether you can copy and paste as you want.  That said, yes, it shouldn't be a problem.
