Cutting, copying, and pasting text

Cutting and copying text in Writer is similar to cutting and copying text

in other applications. You can use the mouse or the keyboard for these

operations.

Cut: Use Edit > Cut or

Control+X

or the Cut icon on the toolbar.

Copy: Use Edit > Copy or

Control+C

or the Copy icon.

Paste: Use Edit > Paste or

Control+V

or the Paste icon.

If you simply click on the Paste icon, any formatting the text has (such

as bold or italics) is retained. To make the pasted text take on the

formatting of the surrounding text where it is being pasted, click the

triangle to the right of the Paste icon and select Unformatted text

from the menu (Figure 61).

Finding and replacing text and formatting

Writer has a Find and Replace feature that automates the process of

searching for text inside a document. In addition to finding and

replacing words and phrases, you can:

• Use regular expressions (wildcards) to fine-tune a search (see the

Help for details).

• Find and replace specific formatting (see the

Writer Guide

• Find and replace paragraph styles (see the

Writer Guide

To display the Find & Replace dialog (Figure 62), use the keyboard

shortcut

Control+F

or select Edit > Find & Replace.
