Clipboard

Clipboard is a special Windows data storage. Any application can place information (text, pictures etc) onto the clipboard, and retrieve information from the clipboard. The clipboard is used for transferring information (text, pictures, etc) between two applications, or between two documents.

The following clipboard-related operations are possible in Atlantis:

Copy

This operation places a copy of the selected text onto the clipboard.
The selected text is copied to the clipboard accompanied with all its formatting.
To copy a fragment of the document to the clipboard, select this fragment, and click the Copy

toolbar button, or press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins, or choose the Edit | Copy menu command.

Paste

This operation inserts the current clipboard contents to the active document.

In Atlantis the clipboard contents can be pasted (inserted) in two ways:

Paste with formatting

The clipboard contents is inserted "as is", with all the formatting (if any) accompanying the text on the clipboard.

For example, if you have placed an italic text onto the clipboard, pasting with formatting would insert italic text to your document.

To paste with formatting, click the Paste toolbar button, or press Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins, or choose the Edit | Paste menu command.
Paste without formatting (or Paste as plain text, or Paste as environment)

Only pure plain text from the clipboard is inserted to the document. Atlantis automatically formats the pasted text with the current document formatting.

To paste without formatting, click the Paste as environment toolbar button, or press Ctrl+Alt+Ins.
Also you can choose the Plain Text or Plain UNICODE Text clipboard formats from the drop-down menu of the Paste toolbar button:

or from the list of clipboard formats in the Edit | Paste Special... dialog:

Cut

This operation is similar to the Copy operation but it also deletes the selected fragment of the document (cuts selection to the clipboard).

To cut a fragment of the document to the clipboard, select this fragment, and click the Cut

toolbar button, or press Ctrl+X or Shift+Del, or choose the Edit | Cut menu command.

Tips:

When the Clipboard History option is on (Tools | Options... > Edit), any information that goes to the clipboard, is collected by Atlantis under the drop-down menu of the Paste toolbar button:

You could click any of the collected items in this menu to insert the corresponding clip to the active document.
The Clipboard History is cleared on program close.

If you right-click a document or graphic filename in Windows Explorer and choose "Copy" from the pop-up menu, you can subsequently paste the contents of the file into Atlantis.

You can replace multiple fragments of document with the same text or graphic available on the clipboard. Here are the steps:

1. Copy the replacement text or graphic to the clipboard.

2. Select the fragments of target document that you want to replace. Note that the target fragments have to be selected as a multiple selection.

3. Paste the clipboard contents as usual (Ctrl+V or the Paste toolbar button).
