After selecting one or more objects as described under Selecting Items on a Page, use the Home→Clipboard commands or Ctrl+X (cut) or Ctrl+C (copy) on your keyboard to perform standard word processing functions (e.g., Cut, Copy). Objects that have been copied to the clipboard with these functions can be pasted onto different pages or even onto a different layout using the Home→Clipboard→Paste command, or Ctrl+V on your keyboard.

 

To delete an object, select it and use the Home→Editing→Delete command (or press the Delete key on your keyboard).

 

The Home→Clipboard→Duplicate command duplicates the selected item(s). A copy and paste function will be performed at the same time. By clicking on the down arrow associated with Duplicate, the command expands to reveal five items: Duplicate, Duplicate and Next, Duplicate and Prev(ious), Multiple Duplicate and Next, and Multiple Duplicate and Prev(ious).

 

The Next and Prev functions associated with these commands duplicate the selected object(s) and change to the next or previous file in your data list. The Multiple commands allow you to make more than one copy of the selected item(s). The default positioning of the duplicated objects can be set in user options.

 

Note: In FCS Express 6, objects and text can be copied into another application simply using the copy and paste functions, without loss of formatting information. Text boxes, statistics tables, compensations, and other items in tabular format can be copied from FCS Express and pasted into spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel in the same format.
