Annotating Text Fields
When editing text fields of a segment, most common features of text editing tools are available, such as inserting text at a selected position, marking text you want to overwrite, copying, pasting, and deleting, and so on.
You can use standard keyboard shortcuts to cut text or copy text to the system clipboard, or paste text from the system clipboard. This includes the ability to copy text from external sources such as documents or Web pages and to paste the text as segment annotation. The text is pasted without formatting. You can also do the reverse: copy segment text and paste it into an external source, such as Notepad.
You can apply the cut, copy, and paste options only to properties of type “text”.
To edit text fields:
1. Do one of the following:
Double-click the text field.
