Moving and copying topics with Cut, Copy and Paste

You can move and duplicate topics using the standard Cut, Copy and Paste commands. You can paste topics to the same map or to a different map. This is also a quick way to create callouts and hyperlinks.

To move or copy a topic:

  1. Select one or more topics in Map View or Outline View.

    You can select topics, floating topics, and callouts.

  2. Then, do any of the following to cut or copy the topic:

    • Press Command-X to cut or Command-C to copy.

    • Choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy.

    • Control-click the topic and choose Cut or Copy.

  3. Select the destination: select a topic to make the pasted topic a subtopic, or click the map background to make the pasted topic a floating topic.

    The destination can be on the current map or on another open map.

  4. Then, do any of the following to paste the topic:

    • Press Command-V.

    • Choose Edit > Paste.

    • Control-click the topic and choose Paste.

The topic is pasted as a subtopic of the selected topic. To paste as a callout or hyperlink, see the Hints below.

Hints:

  • To paste the topic as a callout, Control-click the destination topic and choose Paste as Callout from the shortcut menu, or select the destination topic and choose Edit > Paste As > Callout.

  • To create a hyperlink back to a topic, copy the target topic (the topic that the link will point to). Control-click a topic (on this map or on another map) and choose Paste Hyperlink from the shortcut menu, or select a topic and choose Edit > Paste As > Hyperlink.

  • Topics you cut or copy from a map can be pasted to many other applications as text.

You can also move and copy topics using drag and drop. To learn more see the Related Topics below.
