Copy Text

Copying text leaves the original text in place and creates a duplicate of it elsewhere in the document. The following way of copying and pasting is the same as most other Windows programs. It can be used to copy text from one place in a file to another place in the same file, or from one Nota Bene file to another, or from one Windows program to another.

1	Define the block of text to be copied.

2	Click Edit, Copy (or press Ctrl+C). The status bar will read "Copied to Clipboard."

3	Move the cursor to the point where you want to insert the defined text.

4	Click Edit, Paste (or press Ctrl+V).

5	The same text can be copied to a second place by repeating steps 3 and 4.

You can also copy text within Nota Bene using the action line. See Move or Copy Text: commands.

Finally, a third method is available if the Nota Bene text definition option is active. The Nota Bene text definition option allows you to move the cursor away from the defined block without losing the definition. This is required in step 2. If the defined block changes to regular text when you attempt to move the cursor away from the block, then the Windows standard text definition option is active. To change to the Nota Bene text definition option, press Ctrl+F2. For more details, see Select text (detailed explanation).

1	Define the block of text to be copied.

2	Use any of the directional keys (4 arrow keys or Page Up, Page Down, Home and End) to move the cursor to the point where you want to insert the defined text

3	Press Ctrl+Y
