The basics #2

After having studied the elementary but vital commands of AbiWord, let us see now other commands quite as elementary:

* To cancel
* To repeat
* To cross
* To copy
* To stick

The command To cancel

During striking and formatting of a document, it sometimes happens to make errors or that the expected effect is not that discounted. For that the command " to cancel " is very useful. To cancel an error, there are three solutions:

  1. To go in small the Edition then cliquer on " Cancelling " or
  2. Cliquez on the icone " To cancel " Annuler la frappe or
  3. To use the short cut keyboard while pressing simultaneously on keys " Ctrl " and " Z ".

The command To restore

To restore (or cancel) the effects command " To cancel it " seen above, there still three solutions are offered to you:

  1. To go in small the Edition then cliquer on " Repeating " or
  2. Cliquez on the icone " To repeat " Répéter la frappe or
  3. To use the short cut keyboard while pressing simultaneously on the keys " Ctrl " and " Y ".

The command To cross

The command " to cross " is very useful to move a text or an image. This command must be combined with the command " To stick " seen below. To cut a word, a paragraph or all other object (an image for example), it is enough to select this object then:

  1. To go in small the Edition then cliquer on " Crossing " or
  2. Cliquez on the icone " To cross " Couper or
  3. To use the short cut keyboard while pressing simultaneously on the keys " Ctrl " and " X ".

That will result in to erase the object instantaneously. But not of panic: your object at summer put in memory of the computer (in the press paper) and it any more but does not remain to stick it.

The command To copy

The command " to copy " is it very useful to duplicate a text or an image. This command must be combined with the command " To stick " seen below. To copy a word, a paragraph or all other object (an image for example), it is enough to select this object then:

  1. To go in small the Edition then cliquer on " Copying " or
  2. Cliquez on the icone " To copy " Copier or
  3. To use the short cut keyboard while pressing simultaneously on the keys " Ctrl " and " C ".

Your object, contrary to the command " To cross ", will not move: it with simply put in memory of the computer (in the press paper) and it any more but does not remain to stick it.

The command To stick

Once that your object was put in the press paper (by the command " To cross " or it controls " To stick " seen above), it does not remain you more which has to stick this ojet to the place desired. For that, to position your cursor at the place where you want to stick your object then:

  1. To go in small the Edition then cliquer on " Sticking " or
  2. Cliquez on the icone " To copy " Coller or
  3. To use the short cut keyboard while pressing simultaneously on the keys " Ctrl " and " V ".

This command is active well évidamment only if your press paper " were filled " using the command " To cross " or " To copy ". Moreover, the stuck object will be the last object to be crossed or stuck as a preliminary.
