Edit Menu

 

 

Undo

Reverses the last action performed.

 

Cut

Removes the current selection and places it into the clipboard. A selection can include text, pictures, special characters such as a page break, or a combination of these items. Once a selection has been cut, you can use the "Paste" option to paste it at the current cursor position, or into another application.

 

Copy

Copies the current selection into the clipboard. The current selection is not altered. Once a selection has been copied into the clipboard, you can use the "Paste" option to paste it at the current cursor position, or into another application.

 

Paste

Inserts a copy of the clipboard's contents at the cursor position you have selected. It is generally used after having done a "Copy" or "Cut" operation.

 

Clear

Removes the current selection from the document without placing it into the Clipboard. The "Clear" operation allows you to remove a selection from your document while maintaining the clipboard's contents.

 

Select All

Selects a full section of the document from the first to the last character. It works on only the currently selected part of the document, whether that is the body of the text, the header, or the footer.

 

Copy Ruler

Allows you to copy the ruler settings of the ruler that is applied to the current selection or paragraph.

When you copy a ruler you store the settings for the margins, indents, tabs, line spacing, paragraph spacing, and text justification.

Once a ruler has been copied, the "Paste ruler" option can be used to apply its settings to any paragraph of your choice.

The word processor uses a separate memory area for the "Copy Ruler" settings, and each time you copy a ruler, it replaces the previous memory contents. This option thus has no effect on the clipboard's contents.

 

Paste Ruler

Allows you to apply the settings of the last ruler you copied to the current selection or paragraph.

It is possible to apply a copied ruler to any paragraph of your choice.

This option becomes available only after you have used the "Copy Ruler" option at least once. It then remains available until you exit the word processor.
