Copying, pasting and moving text
You can easily copy frame text and paste into the same or a different text
frame. Text stored on the clipboard can additionally be pasted into a new
frame.
Drag and drop support for frame text allows text to be moved into a different
location within the same frame or a different text frame in your site.
To copy and paste text:
1. Select the text to be copied.
2. Select Copy from the Edit menu. This places the text onto the clipboard.
3. Place an insertion point in a different location in your story or artistic text.
4. Select Paste from the Edit menu.
If you don't place an insertion point, the text can be pasted into a new
text frame directly.
To move text by drag and drop (text frames only):
1. Select the text to be moved.
2. Hover over the selected text and hold your mouse button down. A
cursor is shown.
3. Move the cursor to the location (in the same or different frame) you wish
to place the text—an insertion point should be displayed.
4. Release the mouse button to place your text.
Setting paragraph indents
When a text frame is selected, markers on the horizontal ruler indicate the left
indent, first line indent, and right indent of the current paragraph. You can
adjust the markers to set paragraph indents, or use a dialog.
