3) Use the arrow keys to move to the start of the next piece of text to be selected.

Selecting a vertical block of text

You can select a vertical block or “column” of text that is separated by spaces or tabs

(as you might see in text pasted from e-mails, program listings, or other sources),

using OOo’s block selection mode. To change to block selection mode, use Edit >

Selection Mode > Block Area, or click several times in the status bar on STD until

it changes to BLK.

Now highlight the selection, using mouse or keyboard, as shown below.

Cutting, copying, and pasting text

Cutting and copying text in Writer is similar to cutting and copying text in other

applications. You can use the mouse or the keyboard for these operations. You can

copy or move text within a document, or between documents, by dragging or by

using menu selections, icons, or keyboard shortcuts. You can also copy text from

other sources such as Web pages and paste it into a Writer document.

To move (cut and paste) selected text using the mouse, drag it to the new location

and release it. To copy selected text, hold down the Control key while dragging. The

text retains the formatting it had before dragging.

When you paste text, the result depends on the source of the text and how you paste

it. If you click on the Paste icon, any formatting the text has (such as bold or italics)

is retained. Text pasted from Web sites and other sources may also be placed into

frames or tables. If you do not like the results, click the Undo icon or press

Control+Z.

To make the pasted text take on the formatting of the surrounding text where it is

being pasted, choose either:

• Edit > Paste Special, or

• Click the triangle to the right of the Paste icon, or

• Click the Paste icon without releasing the left mouse button.

Then select Unformatted text from the resulting menu.

The range of choices on the Paste Special menu varies depending on the origin and

formatting of the text (or other object) to be pasted. See Figure 70 for an example

with text on the clipboard.
