Working in an AppleWorks document
This section describes methods you can use to work with most AppleWorks
documents.
Cutting, copying, and pasting
In AppleWorks you can cut, copy, and paste text, objects, or images within
a document or frame, between AppleWorks documents, and between an
AppleWorks document and another application’s document.
Note There are some exceptions to the cut and paste rules in AppleWorks
documents. You cannot cut text from a communications document, but you
can copy it. If you paste text into a communications document with an open
connection, the text is sent to the remote computer to which you are
connected. You also cannot paste objects into a spreadsheet cell. In a
database document, you can paste objects only in Layout mode or into a
multimedia field.
Copying objects using the drag and drop feature
If your computer’s operating system supports drag and drop, you can use drag
and drop to copy text, objects, images, and spreadsheet cells between
documents and applications.
Note You can also use drag and drop to open and insert documents. For more
information about drag and drop, see onscreen Help, and the documentation
that comes with your computer.
