Scratchpad

Scratchpad

The Scratchpad is a convenient way of editing the list of headwords in the Wordlist View. Words can be cut or copied between the Wordlist and the Scratchpad. They can also be dragged within each view, and dragged and dropped from one view to the other.

This enables words to be placed easily in any desired order before printing or saving the concordance.

The Scratchpad is cleared when a concordance is closed or a new one loaded. It is not cleared when you hide it.

To show or hide the Scratchpad, choose Show Scratchpad on the Edit menu or use the Show/Hide Scratchpad button on the Toolbar. You can also hide the Scratchpad by clicking on the word 'Scratchpad' in its header.

You can copy the words from the Scratchpad to the Windows Clipboard, ready for pasting into another program. You can also save the words to a file. Both these functions are available from a pop-up menu. Right-click on the main body of the Scratchpad to make the menu pop up.
