2 Copy/Cut/Paste from within a single OSD document
-
You can select any word, sentence or paragraph and use CTRL+C/X to copy/cut, and then CTRL+V to paste your text.
-
You can also cut/copy and paste entire XML elements (like a table, note, graphic or equation). To do this, put your cursor inside the element you want to cut/copy, then click on the element name from the navigation bar at the bottom to select the entire element.
-
Once the element is selected, it becomes entirely yellow. You can then press CTRL+C/X and then CLTR+V in order to cut/copy paste it anywhere inside your publication.
