Notes

• If Edit > Paste or Edit > Paste Special appear grayed on the menu, it means that there is no content on the clipboard, or that the information on the clipboard is in a format that CuteSITE Builder can’t import using these commands.

• One format CuteSITE Builder can import is Microsoft's Rich Text Format (.RTF). Just as in CuteSITE Builder text format, .RTF format allows named styles to be associated with paragraphs of text. Whether you use Paste or Paste Special when importing RTF text depends on how you want CuteSITE Builder to translate these named styles.

• Edit > Paste Special lets you choose from two options:

• Preserve the exact appearance of text does not carry over the style names. Instead, it uses local formatting (overrides to each page area's default style) to make sure that text appears exactly as it did in its previous location. This option is available only using Paste Special.

• Apply CuteSITE Builder styles that match file names takes note of the style names used in the text, and matches them with CuteSITE Builder styles. Any names that match will have the corresponding CuteSITE Builder styles applied; the others are discarded. This choice is recommended if you plan to take full advantage of the styles included with CuteSITE Builder page layouts and Web designs. This is the normal functionality of Paste; it can be chosen as an option when you choose Paste Special.

With Word 97, Microsoft Word introduced an AutoFormat feature called Define styles based on your formatting. When this feature is enabled, Word sometimes defines new or redefines unused styles based on manual formatting you apply to a paragraph, and then applies those styles. As a result, you can potentially have Word97 documents that use named styles extensively, even if you never (manually) either defined or applied styles yourself. If your files have gained numerous styles in this way, neither option may meet your needs, although preserve exact appearance might come closer.

• You can also drag and drop text and other content between another application and CuteSITE Builder. If the format used for the transfer is RTF, this is the equivalent of choosing Edit > Paste.
