While you are working on a project, all of the data entered is temporarily saved within the

PC’s memory. Nothing is saved permanently until the Save or Save As command is

executed. You should save often to ensure that you don’t lose valuable information.

Cut

The Cut button is the shortcut for the Edit/Cut menu item. The Cut button will clip out the

highlighted area on the message entry window and place it onto a clipboard so that it may be

pasted at a later time. To highlight an area of the message, use the mouse to place the cursor

on the message and press the left mouse button. While holding the button, drag the mouse

across the area you wish to cut or remove from the message. The selected message area will

become highlighted as the mouse is moved. Release the left mouse button to stop selecting.

Clicking on the Cut button will now remove the selected message information and place it

onto the clipboard for later pasting. Only the last cut section of the message may be pasted

onto the same message or another.
Since register monitors on the message are objects, entire register monitors must be

highlighted before they can be cut.

Copy

The Copy button is the shortcut for the Edit/Copy menu item. The Copy button will place a

copy of the highlighted area of the message entry window onto a clipboard so that it may be

pasted at a later time. To highlight an area of the message, use the mouse to place the cursor

on the message and press the left mouse button. While holding the button, drag the mouse

across the area you wish to copy from the message. The selected message area will become

highlighted as the mouse is moved. Release the left mouse button to stop selecting. Clicking

on the Copy button will now copy the selected message information and place it onto the

clipboard for later pasting. As with cutting text, only the last copied section of the message

may be pasted onto the same message or another.
Register monitors are objects on the message. Only by highlighting the entire register

monitor will it be copied to the clipboard when executing this command.

Paste

The Paste button is the shortcut for the Edit/Paste menu item. The Paste button is used in

conjunction with the Cut or Copy buttons to move data on the message or to repetitively place

identical copies of text and register monitors onto any number of OIT messages. Text and register

monitors that are cut or copied are placed on the clipboard which may be pasted at will. Pasted text

andregistermonitorswillappearstartingatthecursorlocationandmaybepastedmultipletimes.
Register monitors that are pasted to the message will create a duplicate, but unique, register

monitor on the current message. Changes made to the new register monitor(s) will not affect

the copied register monitors.

Align Left, Center, Right

The Align Left, Align Center, and Align Right buttons are the shortcuts for the Edit/Align

Left, Edit/Align Center, and Edit/Align Right menu items. These buttons allow aligning a

line on the project. Click on the alignment desired—left, centered, or right alignment—and

the MAPware 100 software will move the text and Register Monitors accordingly.
