Copy and Paste between Outlines

After completing this topic, you will be able to copy a link between outlines using copy and paste.

Steps:

1. We have changed to the Details view in the Outline Editor and added the Document Id column to the view.

   Step 1

2. We have applied a horizontal layout to the view.

    

   In the bottom work area, we have opened the Basic Excel Skills module and expanded the outline.

   Step 2

3. Copy the Workbook Features section and paste it to the root of the WordPad Training outline.

    

   Click the Workbook Features section.

   Step 3

4. Use the toolbar buttons to copy and paste the selected document to the WordPad Training outline.

    

   Click the Copy button.

   Step 4

5. Select the location to which you want to paste the copied document.

    

   Click the WordPad Training module.

   Step 5

6. Click the Paste button.

   Step 6

7. Expand the pasted document using the toolbar button.

    

   Click the Expand button.

   Step 7

8. Notice that the Document IDs are identical in both outlines.

    

   Using copy and paste between outlines links the content to another parent; it does not create new copies of the content.

   Step 8

9. In the WordPad Training outline, we will change the name of the Entering Text into Cells topic to Entering Text for you. We will also delete the link to the Saving a Workbook topic.

   Step 9

10. In both outlines, the topics are renamed to Entering Text and the Saving a Workbook topic is removed.

     

    Both outlines link to the same documents. Any changes made to a document or to the content structure in one outline are maintained in each reuse of the content.

    Step 10
