Edit Menu

The Edit menu contains options that allow you to cut, copy, paste, and delete one or more objects from a template, or one or more data entry controls and objects from the Data Entry Form view. These capabilities are possible using the Windows clipboard.

The clipboard is a place in Windows memory where a copy of a single object or group of objects (and data entry controls) can be stored. It gives you the ability to transfer objects created in BarTender easily from one template to another, between a template and a form, or even between different documents.The clipboard, combined with options in the Edit menu, can be used to add bitmap images created in other programs to templates and data entry forms in BarTender. (A bitmap is an image or picture composed of individual dots. Bitmaps are usually stored in a format which can be used by many different programs.)

The Edit menu also enables you to undo and redo actions, edit the data embedded into an object, and export objects from BarTender.

The Edit menu options are summarized below.

Undo: Reverses the previous action.
Redo: Reverses the previously undone action.

Cut: Deletes the selected item(s) (object and/or control) and copies it to the clipboard.
Copy: Copies the selected item(s) to the clipboard. This action does not delete the selected item(s).
Paste: Places a copy of the item(s) in the clipboard onto the template or data entry form. This option can also be used to add bitmaps created in other programs to a template or data entry form.
Paste Unformatted: Places a copy of the item(s) in the clipboard into the template or data entry form. When using this command, the text will automatically use the default font.
Delete: Removes the selected item(s) from the template or data entry form. This option does not copy the selected item(s) to the clipboard before deleting it.
Select All: Selects all of the items on the template or data entry form.
