PClear

Deletes the currently selected graphic or text without storing it on the Clipboard.


Command constructor

PClear();

Objects with text wrap. When you select and clear a graphic that has a text wrap applied to it, the space that the graphic occupied is then filled with the surrounding text.

Story editor: no clearing from dialog boxes. Unlike Clear on the Edit menu, the PClear command does not clear text from the Find, Change, or Spell dialog boxes. Instead, it clears the text selected in the current story, regardless of whether one of the dialog boxes is displayed.

Example. The following example selects all objects on the page (or all the text in a story if a text block contains the text insertion point) and clears them from the publication without copying them to the Clipboard.

PSelectAll();
PClear();
