Summary |
Pastes the contents of a clipboard or other file into the current document. Arbortext APP keeps three clipboards, one each for frame, text, and graphics. Clipboard files are updated whenever you use the tcut and tcopy macros. A clipboard file can only hold one clipped item at a time. |
Example extract |
The macro below pastes a file which has already been converted into Arbortext APP format directly into the text stream. This is a quick alternative to loading a text file into a frame, selecting it and then pasting it into another text stream!

Syntax
|
filename:s?
|
filename:s |
The name of the file in Arbortext APP format (e.g. .3p, .3t, or .3o) which you want to paste into a document. |
|
A clipboard can be pasted as many times as you wish, until it is overwritten when you use another tcut or tcopy macro. |
|
You can also use tpaste to paste the contents of a named file in Arbortext APP format, usually one created with tcut or tcopy with the filename parameter. This is a good way of setting up 'boilerplate' text. |
|
In Page Mode, the contents of the frame clipboard (clip.3p) are pasted onto the current page or over/underlay. |
 |
Only a frame's attributes are pasted, not its contents. |
|
In Text Mode, the contents of the text clipboard (clip.3t) are pasted into the current stream at the cursor position. In Graphics Mode, the contents of the graphics clipboard (clip.3o) are pasted into the current frame on top of any existing graphics. |
|
On Windows systems, there is only one global clipboard which applies to Page, Text and Graphic modes. This clipboard is context sensitive, and responds to cut/copy/paste operations in a sensible way. |
