# Moving or Copying Annotations

You can move or copy annotations pasted.

## Moving or copying annotations

Multiple annotations can be moved or copied simultaneously. You can also move or copy them to a document displayed in another Viewer window or to the [Edit Desktop] window.
Procedure
1.
Select one or more annotations, then select [Cut] or [Copy] from the [Edit] menu.
The selected annotation is stored in the clipboard.
Note
If you have done a cut operation, do not forget to paste the cut item.
The file could be deleted when you finish the operation or operate other than paste right after the cut is operated. The file deleted is not stored in the recycle bin but deleted immediately.
2.
Display the document page to which you want to move or copy the annotations or the [Edit Desktop] window, then select [Paste] from the [Edit] menu.
The annotations are pasted near the annotation selected in the destination window. If no annotation is selected, the copied or moved annotations are pasted to the top left corner of the window. Drag the annotation to reposition it.
Note

- You can move an annotation by dragging-and-dropping. When copying an annotation, drag-and-drop it while pressing the <Ctrl> key.
- When you select [Paste] from the pop-up menu, you can paste an annotation at the position where you right-clicked.
- Fixed annotations cannot be moved. If there are one or more fixed annotations among multiple selected annotations, none of those selected can be moved.
- If a fixed annotation is copied, fixing the positions is canceled in the copy destination.
- If you move or copy a notepad annotation with another annotation fixed on it, the fixed annotation is moved or copied along with the notepad.

## Nudging the positions of annotations

You can nudge the position of an annotation pasted by moving it one dot at a time. It is possible to select and nudge multiple annotations simultaneously.
A dot refers to a fixed interval on the screen which is independent of the zoom ratio. Therefore, the actual distance moved is smaller when the zoom ratio is higher.
Procedure
1.
Select one or more annotations, select [Nudge] from the [Annotation] menu, then select [Up], [Down], [Right], or [Left].
The selected annotations are moved one dot up, down, to the right, or to the left.
Note

- You can also nudge the positions of annotations by selecting them and pressing the <Alt>+one of the arrow keys.
- Annotations pasted on a notepad cannot be nudged.
- The positions of fixed annotations cannot be nudged. If a fixed annotation is included when you select multiple annotations, their positions cannot be nudged.
- You can specify the position of the annotation in mm, on the [Position and size] tab of properties of annotations.

## Copying annotations to all subsequent pages

For DocuWorks documents and DocuWorks binders, you can select one or more annotations pasted to a page and copy them to every subsequent page at once. In a DocuWorks binder, selected annotations are copied to every page of the subsequent documents as well as every subsequent page of the same document. The copied annotations are pasted to the same positions in a page as the original annotations.
Procedure
1.
Select one or more annotations, then select [Copy to All Pages After Next] from the [Annotation] menu.
The selected annotations are copied to every subsequent page.
Note

- If a fixed annotation is copied, the position of the annotation to be fixed is canceled in the copy destination.
- If a size of a page in copy destination is small so that the entire annotation does not fit in the page, the annotation will be pasted on the upper left of a page. If an annotation juts out partly, the annotation will be pasted at the same position and the jutted portion will not be displayed. For notepads, the jutted portion will also be displayed.
