Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Text

Use

You can rearrange text in your documents by cutting, copying, and pasting it:

You can retrieve the text that you last stored in the buffer in order to:

  • Insert it at another position in the same document

  • Insert it at a variety of positions in the document

  • Insert it into one or more documents

Process

After marking the text, buttons for all three functions appear on the SAPscript text-entry screen. You can also reach these functions by choosing Edit.

  • Cut: Cutting removes a marked block of text from your document and copies it to a clipboard.

  • Copy: Copying copies a marked block of text to a clipboard.

  • Paste: Pasting inserts text from a clipboard in your document at the cursor position.

Be aware of the following:

  • Only one clipboard is available for each user per client.

  • You can reinsert a block of text accidentally cut from your document as long as it has not been overwritten in the clipboard.

  • You cannot retrieve text you deleted using the backspace key, the delete key ( Del.), or the SAPscript Delete function key.
