Edit Menu...ClipBoard functions

Microsoft Windows has a ClipBoard utility that enables you to transfer text without retyping it.  The Cut function removes the selected text from your file and copies it to the ClipBoard.  The Copy function does the same, but leaves the selected text in your file.  The Paste function retrieves text from the ClipBoard and places it in your file.

When you delete text, you remove it from your file without copying it to the ClipBoard.  You can access this feature by clicking on the File Menu...Delete or by simply pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.


Edit Menu...Date/Time

This handy feature, accessed by clicking on the Edit Menu...Date/Time, inserts the current date and time wherever your cursor is.


Edit Menu...Select All

Search Menu...Find, Find Next

If you want to find a word (or any string) located in a file, click on the Search Menu...Find.  Type in the string you want to find, then click the OK button.  To quickly find the next instance of the string, make sure the first instance is selected, then click on the Search Menu...Find Next.
