Copying and pasting text from an existing document

You can add text to a title using the standard copy and paste clipboard functionality. You can paste the text as formatted text or unformatted text. Additionally, you can paste the unformatted text as plain unformatted text or unformatted Unicode text. Pasting as formatted text will paste the text while maintaining its current formatting (font face, style, size, and so on) from the application from which it was copied. Pasting as unformatted text will paste the text while abandoning its current formatting, and will instead use the default text style selected within the program.

Copied text can be pasted into the program where text is supported, for example, into text buttons, certificates, questions and more. When pasting text as a new text block, the text block can be expandable to allow the entire text to be displayed.

The program will automatically create a text block with the pasted text, however, in most cases, it will need to be resized to fit all of the text. Double-click the text block to automatically resize it vertically until all the text is displayed. Alternatively, resize the text block by dragging the sides or corners of the text block to the appropriate size. See also: Moving and resizing objects

To copy and paste text from an existing document:

  1. Open the source document containing the text that you want to add to the title. For example, if you are copying from a Microsoft Word document, open the document in Word.

  2. Highlight and copy the text according to the options available within the application hosting the source document. Most allow copying text by highlighting the text and typing the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.

  3. Click within the page in to which you want to add the copied text.

  4. To paste the text as formatted text, select the arrow under Paste in the Clipboard group on the Home ribbon and select Paste Formatted or the Ctrl+Alt+V (formatted) keyboard shortcut. The formatted text is added to the title.

    To paste the text as unformatted text, either select the arrow under Paste and select Paste Unformatted or select the arrow under Paste As and select Unformatted Text. The unformatted text is added to the title.

    To paste the text as unformatted Unicode text, select the arrow under Paste As and select Unformatted Unicode Text from the Home tab, or the Ctrl+Shift+V (unformatted) keyboard shortcut.
