separate - rich text - copy
This is the "separate -
rich text - copy" section. The
left-side text area is to contain only non-scrambled data. The right-side text area is to contain only a
single scrambled section (typically corresponding to the non-scrambled data in
the other text area). You can choose the
settings/tools tab. Or you can choose
one of the “from where” tabs. Once you
have chosen a “from where” tab, you will be allowed to specify how to copy,
where to copy it, and what to copy:
"help" - to get assistance.
"settings/tools" - to enter your personal
preferences for doing copying in the separate rich text areas.
"from text area" - to copy data from one of
the separate rich text areas. Check the
status of the left-side non-scrambled rich text area by clicking
"Refresh" in its panel. Similarly
check the status of the right-side scrambled plain text area. The first number is how many characters are
in the text area. The second tells the
current cursor position within the text.
The third is how many characters are currently selected
(highlighted). Knowing the status helps
you choose what to copy.
"from clipboard" - to copy from data you have
already pasted into the system clipboard (via a prior "cut" or
"paste" operation). Check the
status of the clipboard by clicking "Refresh" in the clipboard panel.
The three panes tell whether the
clipboard has rich text, plain text, or HTML.
Knowing the status helps you choose what to copy.
"from file" - to be able to choose a file
that will be copied to the area of your choosing.
Note that if you copy plain
text into the rich text area, it will not be completely "plain". Plain text simply carries no formatting with
it. However, when you paste plain text
into a location that has formatting (such as into the rich text area), the plain
text will take upon it the formatting of the text next to it. If there is no formatting next to it, it will
take upon it the default formatting of the rich text area.
