Copying selected text to the clipboard

On the Edit Menu, click Copy Selection (shortcut Ctrl+C). This can also be accomplished by right-clicking in the Hyperview browser.

The Copy Selection menu item copies selected text to the clipboard for use in other Windows® applications.

You must have selected text to enable this option. You can select text by pointing the mouse cursor to the start of the desired text and pressing the left mouse button. Keep the mouse button depressed, drag the mouse cursor down to the end of the desired text and release the mouse button. The selected text will be highlighted in inverse colours.

To select text that extends beyond the bottom of the window, drag the mouse cursor beyond the bottom of the window, and the window will auto-scroll. Note that it isn’t possible to start a selection within text that has been marked as a hyperlink. To select hyperlinked text, start your selection before the hyperlinked text.

Once text has been selected, use this option or Ctrl+C on the keyboard to copy the text. And if you wish to paste the copied text, place the mouse where you want the text to go, click once to put the text cursor in that spot, and then push Ctrl+V.


Note: You can automatically search for a selected term by right-clicking and choosing Help from the context menu. See Searching Hyperview help for more information.
