Hello Elvin333 ,
the function you are looking for is called the "Spike".
1. Have your target document opened.
2. Go to your source document, select the text you want to copy.
3. Press Ctrl+F3. The text will be essentially deleted from the source document: don't panic.
4. Go to target document, press Ctrl+Shift+F3.
5. Go back to your source document and hit Ctrl+Z for undo to undelete the source text.
The Spike was programmed for other purposes, but it's the only native Word function I know that can move trackchanges and comments.
