Copy and Paste Text into Notebooks in ECO
The following tools can be used for editing in the ECO:
Arrow Keys: Move the cursor in the direction the arrow is pointing: up, down, left or right. Use them to navigate through text or through things like icon categories and Activities.
Home: Moves the cursor to the front of the current line of text.
Page Up: Moves the cursor to the top of the current page.
Page Down: Moves the cursor to the bottom of the current page.
End: Moves the cursor to the end of the current line.
Edit Mode: Determines how far the arrow keys move the cursor—sentence-by-sentence, wordby- word or character-by-character.
Edit Menu: Allows you to move, copy or delete highlighted text. You can also do a Find and Replace search from the Edit Menu.
Block Mark: Allows you to highlight text.
To Highlight Text
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the beginning of the text you want to highlight.
2. Select Block Mark.
3. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the end of the text to be highlighted. As you move the cursor, the text it passes through will be highlighted.
4. When the text is highlighted, open the Edit Menu and select the option you want for your highlighted text, such as Copy Text.
You can use Edit Mode to highlight by words or sentences rather than characters.
To un-highlight text you are marking, select Block Mark again.
Cut, Paste, Copy Highlighted Text
Highlight the text to be cut or copied.
Open the Edit Menu and select the option you want.
Cutting text is the same as deleting it. You can paste it back into its original document or
somewhere else. If you do not paste cut text somewhere, it will eventually be lost.
To paste the text somewhere else, place your cursor where you want the text to go. Select Paste from the Edit Menu.
To copy text, highlight the text to be copied and select Copy from the Edit Menu. Place your cursor where you want the text to go or open your notebook where you want the text to drop into and select Paste from the Edit Menu. Copied text is not deleted from its original place.
