Question: How do I copy a topic from one WhizFolder document to another?
There are two ways to do it–copy and paste the topics, or drag and drop them to the new document. Note that the subtopics are copied automatically when you do that.
You can do it in two ways:
1) Select a topic and drag it to a target place in the list and
press CTRL so that the cursor changes to ‘+’. Drop it and it will
create a duplicate along with its children.
Or,
2) Copy the topic to the clipboard and paste.
The nice thing is that these methods allow you to copy topics to another document too. Also, the child topics are automatically copied with the parent.
There is an option to always paste plain text in watch clipboard operation. It is available on the Tools menu next to the Watch Clipboard operation.
The default paste in the topic editor uses the RTF or Rich Text Format. That will always copy text in the font and format that you copied from.
If you use “Paste Plain Text” operation, it will paste the text in your document’s default font. But, it won’t preserve rich text attributes like colors, bold, italic, etc. If that is not ok with you, you have to select the entire pasted text and change the font manually.
This is a browser problem. The browser does not copy “rich text” to the clipboard with proper line breaks. By default, WhizFolders tries to paste rich text and that is wrong.
You can instead use “Paste Plain Text” operation which will put the line breaks properly. You can also try Paste Special in the editor and then select Unformatted Text to be pasted.
