Copying pages

Up to Version 1.02 of DoView there was a Copy Page button in the toolbar, from Version 1.03 onwards this has been replaced by the ability to copy pages using a right mouse click in the page list. This is used to: 1) copy pages within DoView; 2) copy and paste a page into an outside piece of software (Microsoft® Word, Powerpoint, Outlook® etc.) using Windows Clipboard for a single page, or Office Clipboard for multiple pages; or 3) copy and paste pages between instances of DoView (see the Section: Pages, copying between models.

Copying pages within an instance of DoView

A single page which has no pages under it. Select the page name you want to copy from the page list and Right-click > Copy. Go to the page or folder under which you want the page to be copied and Right-click > Paste.

Tip: if the entries in the page list do not take up all of the space in the page list you can Right-click > Paste on the white space at the bottom. In this case the page will be pasted under the currently selected page name.

Pages or folders with one or more pages under them. Use the same method as for a single page and all of the pages and folders beneath a page or folder will be copied and pasted.

Copying a page with other pages under it

If you just want to copy a page on its own which has other pages under it, you can either: 1) leave the pages list, go onto the page itself, select and copy all of its context with a Ctrl A Ctrl C, then create a new page (by using the New Page tool in the page list) and then paste the contents onto that new page (Right-click > Paste); or, 2) copy and paste the page and the pages below it using the method set out for copying a single page above and then just delete the additional pages which were under the page you want copied.

Pasting a single page to external software using Windows Clipboard

Select the page name you want to copy from the page list and Right-click > Copy as Image. Go to the other software (Word or Powerpoint) and do a Right-click > Paste, Edit > Paste or Ctrl V to paste an image of the page into the other software.

Using Office Clipboard for pasting multiple pages into external software

You can quickly get multiple pages out of DoView to put in other software using a feature available in some versions of Microsoft® software.

1.	Go to Word, Powerpoint or Outlook and select Edit > Office Clipboard from the main menu. This will open a window down the right-hand side of the application called 'Clipboard'.

2.	Click Clear All to get rid of anything currently in the clipboard.

3.	Return to DoView (the Alt Tab shortcut will get you there fast) and move through all of the pages you want to put into Word or Powerpoint. Click on the page name in the page list to get each page to open in the main page window and Right-Click > Copy.

4.	Return to Word or Powerpoint(again you can use the Alt-Tab shortcut to get there fast). You should now see all the pages you want in the clipboard window on the right hand side of the software.

5.	Click where you want the pages inserted in Word or Powerpoint and then click on the image of the page you want to insert in the Clipboard. You can rapidly place a number of pages into Word or Powerpoint in this way.

Tip: If you copy the pages in DoView in the reverse order to how you want them inserted into Word or Powerpoint, you will find that they will end up in Office Clipboard in the right order for you to paste them into the other software in the correct sequence.
