Copy and Paste

Copy and Paste is one of the easiest ways to personalize your vocabulary or to quickly put together a quick access vocabulary for a particular task or situation.

Imagine you have created a grocery shopping category following the principles explained in the Adding and Editing section of this manual. The easiest way to fill that new category with relevant vocabulary items is to use copy and paste.

Going to the Edit mode

The first step is to enter Edit Mode. To switch to Edit Mode first go to the editing toolbar by tapping the toolbar switch button on the right side of the bottom toolbar. Then tap the Edit button.

Cut, copy, or Edit an item

Once you are in Edit Mode you simply tap on the items you want to copy one by one. Each time you tap on an item you will be offered the choice to Cut, Copy or Edit the item. Choose Cut if you want to remove the item from the current category and then later paste it into another category. Choose Copy if you want to keep the item in the current category but create a copy of it in another category.

Copy multiple items

The copied items will appear dimmed in the message window.

You can copy multiple items even from different categories. Just exit Edit Mode by tapping the Done button on the left side of the bottom toolbar, navigate to another category, enter Edit Mode by tapping the Edit button on the left side of the bottom toolbar. Copy some items, etc.

Navigate to the place you want to paste

When you have copied all the items you want to copy you exit Edit Mode by tapping the Done button on the left side of the bottom toolbar. Next, navigate to the category where you want to Paste the items.
