Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Text
TextEdit provides routines that let you cut, copy, and paste text
You use the same routines to cut and copy monostyled and multistyled text. There are, however, separate routines for pasting monostyled and multistyled text. For multistyled text, the TextEdit routines preserve any stylistic variation along with the cut or copied text in order to restore it when you paste the text.
- within a single edit record
- between edit records within an application
- between an application and a desk accessory
- across applications
