also provides an wide range of utilities and
features to give you even greater control over
your information. This chapter introduces and

You can pick and choose from among them to
find the features that best suit your current task
and your own way of working.
In general, all of the Organizer’s applications

Copying or Moving Blocks of Text
The Organizer lets you cut, copy, or paste blocks of text.
The first step in cutting, copying, and pasting is to select
the block of text you want to work with.
Text that has been cut or copied is stored on the unit’s
internal clipboard. Only one block of text can be stored in
the clipboard at a time, and it will remain there until a new
block of text is cut or copied. There is no limit to the number
of times you can paste the same text from the clipboard.
You can copy or move blocks of text in virtually any
application.
1. Select an entry in its application’s Index mode then
display it in Edit mode.
2. Make sure the cursor is placed at the start of the text
you want to select.
3. Hold down while moving the cursor across the
desired text to select it.
4. Press 2nd CUT to move the selected text to a new
location (ie. remove it from its original location).
Press 2nd COPY if you want to make a copy of the text
(and leave the original text unchanged).
The selected text is stored in the clipboard.
