Choose Copy to copy selected text or image to the system Clipboard. Once in the Clipboard, you can Paste your selection to the Scrapbook DA or another document with a different application. Once in another document, text can be edited.
Copy works in various ways depending on the currently selected tool:
With the Lasso:
• Copy bitmap (Command-C): to copy image in bitmap format, as when it will be used with a paint application.
With the I-beam:
• Copy (Command-C): to copy text without adding a carriage return at each line end, as when text will be used with a word processor with word wrap.
• Shift-Copy (Shift-Command-C): to copy text with a carriage return at each line end so line length will not change, as when text is in columns.
With the Marquee:
• Copy PICT (Command-C): to copy image in PICT format, as when it will be used with a draw application or the Scrapbook DA.
• Copy text (Shift-Command-C): to copy text without adding a carriage return at each line end, as when text will be used with a word processor with word wrap.
• Copy text with CR's (Option-Shift-Command-C): to copy text with a carriage return at each line end so line length will not change, as when text is in columns.
Choose Clipboard from the Windows menu to see current Clipboard contents. The PICT appears in the bottom-left-corner of the window when the selection is an image. When the current selection is text you can choose “Styled text” in the TEXT pop-up menu to see the text in its formatted form, or chose “Plain text” to see the text displayed in the system font.
You cannot edit or modify a Common Ground document. Undo, Cut, Paste, and Clear are always dimmed unless a desk accessory (DA) is active.
