Copying Text

Copy text

Nisus Writer Express automatically copies text with all its formatting.

1. Select the desired text.

2. Either…

choose the menu command: Edit > Copy

from the Clipboard tag on the Status Bar choose the menu command: Copy

press or “right click” your mouse or “secondary click” your trackpad and choose the menu command: Copy.

Nisus Writer Express enables you to append selections of text to the Clipboard. Using this capability you can collect a variety of snippets of text to paste at another place in your document, or in another document, and, because you can edit the Nisus Writer Express Clipboard you can modify those snippets before pasting them.

Choose the menu command: Edit > Copy > Append Copy (or as you press from the Clipboard menu on the Status Bar) to add a copy of the current selection at the end of whatever is stored in the current Clipboard.

Choose the menu command: Edit > Copy > Copy Text Only (or from the Clipboard menu on the Status Bar) to copy only the text, but no formatting information. This is useful for transferring text from Nisus Writer Express to other applications where you want the text to appear with the current formatting in those applications.
