Cutting and Pasting Portions of a Wave

A selected region of a wave can be cut or copied to the Clipboard, or deleted. When you cut or delete, the selected portion of the wave is removed and the wave to the right of the cut portion moves left to close any gap. Selections can be pasted from the Clipboard to the same wave or a different wave.

To select a portion of the wave, drag the mouse across it. The selected region is displayed in red, as shown in the following figure.

You can make fine adjustments to the selection by using the Wave Component Properties window.

Use the standard Clipboard shortcuts CTRL+X and CTRL+C, or right-click the selection and click Cut or Copy on the shortcut menu.

Existing wave material to the right of the insertion point is moved to the right. No existing material is replaced or deleted when you paste material, even if a portion of the wave is selected.

The following commands for working with selected material are also available on the shortcut menu:
