PowerScript provides a temporary holding area (called the clipboard ) where you can store
objects. The clipboard is temporary because whenever you place an object on the clip-
board, that object completely replaces the current clipboard contents. Furthermore,
when you turn off PowerScript, it discards the clipboard contents.
You access the clipboard through the CLIP menu. To display the CLIP menu, click the
Clip option on the MAIN MENU , or enter Ctrl+Shift+F6 .
Cut ( Ctrl+X )—Removes the currently selected object or objects from the page and places
them on the clipboard. The new objects replace the current clipboard contents, if any.
Copy ( Ctrl+C )—Places a duplicate of the currently selected object or objects on the clip-
board. The original object(s) remain on the page. The copied objects replace the current
clipboard contents, if any.
Paste ( Ctrl+V )—Places a copy of the current clipboard contents at the center of the cur-
rent page. The clipboard contents remain unchanged.
Clear ( Ctrl+Shift+X )—Removes the currently selected object or objects from the page but
does NOT place them on the clipboard.
Undo ( Ctrl+Z )—Reverses your last action. You can undo most changes to an object’s posi-
tion, orientation (such as rotate and scale), and object attributes. You cannot undo
changes to Projects or Pages, such as deleting a page.
