PCut

Cuts selected text or graphics to the Clipboard.


Command constructor

PCut();

Pasting outside of PageMaker for Macintosh. PageMaker for the Macintosh cuts and copies selected objects to its internal clipboard, not to the standard Macintosh Clipboard. To paste PageMaker objects into another application, you must force PageMaker to render its internal clipboard into the Macintosh Clipboard by using the PRenderClip command. For example, follow the PCut command with the PRenderClip command, specifying true for the bDirection parameter:

PSelectAll();
PCut();
PRenderClip(true);

Story editor: no cutting from dialog boxes. Unlike Cut on the Edit menu, the PCut command does not cut text from the Find, Change, or Spell dialog boxes. Instead, it cuts 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 text in a story if a text block contains the text insertion point) and cuts them to the Clipboard.

PSelectAll();
PCut();
