Working with selections
This chapter marks the beginning of the reference section of the manual. This part
of the manual provides detailed descriptions of all TextMaker’s functions organized
into chapters by subject matter, as is customary in a reference book.
The first chapter in the reference section is about working with selections. When
you want to delete, copy, or move a part of a document, you must first select it.
This is the case for objects (pictures, drawings, etc.) as well as for text.
In addition, you must select a text segment before you can apply certain commands
that modify its formatting. For example, if you want to format a single word in a
specific font, you must select the word before you specify the font.
The following pages will teach you everything there is to know about working with
selections. Topics covered:
Selecting text
Moving, deleting and copying
Pasting with special formatting
Inserting a document
Selecting text
Before you execute a TextMaker command you can, in many cases, select a segment
of text (or an object) to which you want the command to apply. The command
is then performed only on the selected text or object.
You can make a selection with the mouse, stylus (on touchscreen devices), or
keyboard.
