How to Copy and Paste Tags

This topic describes how to select individual tags and copy and paste them one at a time into a target segment in the editor window in the Editor view. Alternatively, you can select a chunk of text that includes a number of tags and paste this into a target segment; the tags are copied and pasted with the text.

 

NOTE

You can specify that adjacent tags should be grouped together so that they can all be selected in a single operation. The setting that switches tag grouping on and off is located in the Options dialog box under Editor window.
