Changing Hypertext Structures

Add nodes or another structure

You can enter additional nodes or another structure anywhere in the structure.

1. Put the cursor on a node below which you want to insert the new node (structure).

2. To insert the node (structure) at the same hierarchy level, choose  Edit  Nodes  (Structure) Insert  At Same Level .

3. To insert the node (structure) as a subnode, choose  Edit  Nodes  (Structure) Insert  As Subnode .

4. To insert a new node, see Create Hypertext Structure.

5. To insert another structure, enter a structure name in the Link to a Structure dialog box.

   The structure is inserted as a new node with this name. The name need not be the actual name of the structure.

6. You can search for the structure to be inserted with Find Structure.

7. Enter the title of the structure in the following window. You can enter part of the title and choose Execute.

   The title of the structure found is displayed in a second window.

8. Choose Copy. The title is shown in the Link to a Structure window.

9. Choose Copy and save the structure change with  Structure  Save .

   The linked hypertext structure is only displayed as a structure node. The structure is only displayed with all its nodes in display mode.

Delete Node

1. Position the cursor on the node which you want to delete from the structure.

   To delete several nodes at the same time, position the cursor on each node and choose  Edit  Nodes  Select .

The selected nodes are deleted from the structure without confirmation. The documentation referred to is retained.

• Assign another document

• Change document text

1. Position the cursor on a node and choose  Edit  Nodes  Change  or Change Nodes.

   Make your changes.

   If you want to assign another document, you must delete the existing document name first. You can then assign a document from the list with the Assign Other Document icon to the right of the Document Name field.

Move Nodes in The Structure

1. Position the cursor on a node and choose  Edit  Nodes  Select .

   To move several nodes at the same time, position the cursor on each node and choose  Edit  Nodes  Select .

   Note

   Subnodes are also selected and moved.

2. Position the cursor on the node under which you want to insert the selected node.

3. Choose  Edit  Nodes  Move .

4. Specify whether the selected node is to be inserted at the same level or as a subnode.

Copy Nodes from The Clipboard

This function copies structure nodes onto the clipboard and from there to another location in the structure. The difference to moving is that the nodes are copied not moved.

To copy nodes onto the clipboard:

1. Position the cursor on a node and choose  Edit  Nodes  Select .

   Note

   Subnodes are also selected.

2. Choose  Edit  Clipboard  Save Selected Node .

   The selected nodes are exported to the clipboard but also remain in their original position in the hypertext structure.

3. Position the cursor on the node under which you want to insert the node from the clipboard.

4. Choose  Edit  Clipboard  Insert  At Same Level or As Subnode .

The selected nodes are copied from the clipboard to the selected position in the hypertext structure.
