Copy, cut, and paste content in the editor

Use the copy, cut, and paste functionality in the Tangelo editor to reuse content within a document or import content from external sources such as Word documents, PDFs, or web pages.

When content is pasted into Tangelo, the formatting is automatically converted to the styles and structure supported by the document template. This helps maintain consistency throughout the document.

Summary

After completing these steps, content from external sources is added to the document and converted to the formatting supported by Tangelo.

Steps

  1. Copy or cut the content from the source location.
    • Word document
    • PDF document
    • Web page
    • Another section or document in Tangelo
  2. Open the target section in the Tangelo editor.
  3. Place the cursor where the content should be inserted.
  4. Paste the content using Ctrl + V.
  5. Review the imported content and make adjustments where required.
