Edit Menu

Use the Edit menu for selecting and duplicating the graphic objects in the current Background Graphics mode. You may also use it to exchange graphics with other applications. To use the Edit menu functions, select the object you wish to edit by clicking on it in the Layout window.

The first four functions apply to the currently selected object. To select multiple objects, hold the shift key while selecting an object. Alternatively you can drag a rectangle encompassing the objects you want selected. To deselect one of several selected objects, click on the selected object while holding the shift key.

Cut Removes the selected object(s) and makes a temporary copy that may be pasted back into the edit window later.

Copy Makes a temporary copy of the selected object(s) for later pasting.

Paste Adds the most recently cut or copied object(s) to the Layout window.

Delete Deletes the selected background graphic from the Layout window.

Select All Selects all of the graphic objects in the current mode.
