cut copy and paste question

[SteveJ]

Sorry if this is a no-brainer but...
I teach math and often I want to cut the last line of a problem I'm working on and paste it to a new flipchart page. I thought I did this with the old version of the software by using the marquee select tool, selecting what I wanted, right clicking on it and got an option to copy either to a new page or to the clipboard. Every time I try it now, there is no option to copy...HELP! :confused:

Mine has the option to copy...could you explain a bit more...

What version of the siftare are you working with??

Hi

You need to "get hold of the text" in order to copy it. Double click on the text and you will see that one of the icons within the toolbar which pops up is a "T" for text. When you click on the "T" it allows you to edit/copy etc the text. Select it as you would text in a Word doc. ie. dragging your pen/mouse across the relevant
word(s). Then once highlighted you could

drag the highlighted bit of text out onto another part of the page by "pulling out" that bit of text. If it is isolated words you could just right click on a word and one of the options is to deconstruct or

once highlighted you could choose the copy option from the toolbar which would duplicate it.

You can then transfer your text to another page by dragging it onto the relevant thumbnail of any of the pages.

Sorry, I seem to have gone into minute detail here....

Thanks! I figured it out! (Wasn't double-clicking after selecting my scribbling!)
