Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Script
You can cut, copy, and paste text in the script just as you would in a normal word processor. However, because you cannot select individual words or characters, you can move only lines or paragraphs.

To rearrange or rewrite individual words or characters in the script, you
should make the changes in a word processor before importing them into a
separate Script window. You can then use the procedures in this section to
copy and paste the new lines into the existing Script window, overwriting
the incorrect lines.

You cannot undo cut, copy, or paste procedures in the Script window.
|
To cut or copy and paste lines of script:
2. | |
Do one of the following:
|
| |
Select Edit > Cut.
|
| |
Select Edit > Copy.
|
3. | |
Select the line below the location where you want to insert the text.
|
If you selected only one line at the insertion point, a message box asks
if you want to replace the selected line.

If you selected more than one line at the insertion point, no message box
opens. When you select Edit > Paste, the selected lines are replaced with
the text you cut or copied in step 2. You cannot use the Undo command
after performing this step.

Click Replace to overwrite the selected line.
|
| |
Click Insert Before to insert the text above the selected line.

The text is pasted into the script.
