Cutting, copying, and pasting text
Once you’ve selected text, you can cut or copy it to the Clipboard and paste
it elsewhere in the document (or in a different document or frame). See
“Cutting, copying, and pasting” on page 3-10.
Tip To move text quickly, select the text you want to move, hold down
Ctrl+Alt, and then click where you want to move the text.
Showing formatting characters
When you press certain keys, such as the Space bar or Tab or Enter, you
place special characters in your document, called formatting characters, that
contain instructions for formatting your text.
AppleWorks is preset to hide formatting characters. However, it may be
easier to edit with formatting characters visible. For example, you can find
where you typed two spaces together (where you want only one), and then
delete the extra space.
To show formatting characters, choose Preferences from the Edit menu, choose
Text from the Topic pop-up menu, and then select Show Invisibles. To hide
formatting characters, deselect Show Invisibles. To show or hide formatting
characters as you work, click
on the Default button bar, or type Ctrl+;
(semicolon). For more information, see “Setting preferences” on page 3-20.
Select everything in a document or frame Choose Select All from the Edit menu.
Select a text frame as an object Select the arrow pointer and click the text frame.
(When you select a text frame as an object, you
can change the appearance of the text inside.
Changes you make while a text frame is selected
affect all the text in the frame.)
