Cut-paste or copy-paste header/footer items

To "cut" or "copy" header or footer items and then paste them, follow these steps:

1. Click on the item(s) in the log header or footer to be cut or copied. They should appear with "handles" in the upper-left corner (static text), on either end (lines) or on all corners (other header/footer items). (See Selecting Header/Footer Items.)
2. If you wish to remove the selected item(s), click on the Cut toolbar button or select the Edit | Cut menu option. The item(s) will be removed from the header/footer and placed in the Log Designer clipboard.

   If you wish to make a copy of the selected item(s), click on the Copy toolbar button or select the Edit | Copy menu option.  The item(s) will remain in the design and a copy will be placed in the Log Designer clipboard.

3. Click in the region into which the item(s) should be pasted.

   Remember to turn on/off the display of the design panes using the Visible Sections checkboxes.

4. Paste the cut or copied item(s) into the selected header or footer by clicking on the Paste toolbar button or by choosing the Paste command from the Edit menu.

   Log Designer will insert the item(s).

   ! If the item is pasted into the same region (Footer #2 toFooter #2, or Header #1 to Header #1) then the coordinates will be offset slightly so that you can see and grab the pasted item.

   If the item is pasted into a different region (Header #1 to Header #2), the location coordinates will be honored exactly.
