Using the STORE TEXT AREA Tool in ECO2

ECO has a STORE TEXT AREA tool that allows you to copy any text in the Text Display Area and paste it straight to a page or location so you can re-use it.  You do not have to go through the storing procedure to add the text to a key. 

Before you can use the tool, though, you must store it on a key (or keys) wherever you want to be able to use it.
