4. Click the OK button. A new window will appear titled Sound2. This is an
empty data window into which you will place data from TUTOR1.
ACTIVE WINDOWS VS. INACTIVE WINDOWS
When you have multiple windows on the screen, only one window is
considered the active window. This is the window in which you are currently
working. Any operations you perform will only affect this window.
To make a window the active window click anywhere on the window with the
left mouse button. The window’s title bar will change to the color you have
defined as the active window color in Control Panel in Windows.
COPYING DATA TO A NEW FILE
To copy data to a new window:
1. Make “Wow, sound editing...” the active window by clicking on its title bar.
If you don’t have the word “Wow” selected, select it again as described
above.
2. From the Edit menu, select the Copy command. This will copy the sound
data for “Wow” onto the clipboard.
3. Make Sound2 the active window by clicking on its title bar. (If the title bar
is covered by another window, you can always activate a data window by
selecting it from the list at the bottom of the Window menu.)
4. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu and the “Wow” data will
appear in the Sound2 window. If you press the Play button, you can hear
how our new file sounds with just the word “Wow.”
Other methods of copying data from one window to another, or from an
existing window to a new window, are covered later.
