How To: Windows Cut and Paste
Using the Windows' clipboard is a convenient way to copy text from one
application to another. It is very useful when creating new study
items in a library where you want to copy the text from another
program, a web site, or even within Scriptorian itself. To use this
Windows feature in Scriptorian, you will need to use the hot keys
associated with the clipboard edit commands.
For example, suppose you received an e-mail that contained a quote you
wanted to remember. To copy the quote into a study item, open the
Library Manager dialog (click on the Library button on the tool bar),
select the library you want to create the study item in, and then
click on the Create Item button. The User Defined Study Item dialog
should now be displayed. Enter a reference that you would like to use
to identify your new study item. Now switch over to your e-mail
message (Use the Alt-Tab key combination to switch between
applications) and use the mouse to select the text you want to copy.
Once the text you want is selected, press the Ctrl-C key combination
to copy it.
Now, switch back to Scriptorian (again, using Alt-Tab) and click on
the text area of the User Defined Study Item. Now, to paste your
selected text into the study item, press the Ctrl-V key combination.
The text you selected from your e-mail message should now be copied
into the study item. If you have a study list you want this item added
to, just select it at the bottom of the dialog, then press Save to
save your new study item.
Remember that Scriptorian includes extensive help to guide you through
its features. For example, to get Pop Up help, just select Help from
the main menu, then How Do I?, Libraries and
then Add study items to a library, to get step by step instructions
on this topic.
