<title>Detailed Guides: Editing your Document</title>

<para>This section of the guide will cover more advanced features of
data editing.  This section focuses entirely on text data.  For working
with other types of data, please see the section entitled <link linkend="guides-4">More than just text</link>.</para>

<sect1 id="select">
<title>Selecting Text</title>

<para>For many editing and formatting functions in &kword;, certain actions (bold face, underline,&etc;) should be
applied to a
certain section of text, not the document as a whole. You specify which
text should be altered by selecting (highlighting) the text you want changed.</para>

<para>Selected text has a dark background to separate it from
unselected text.</para>

<para>Select text by designating a start and an end
point.  All the text in between the start and end point is selected
text.</para>

<para>Text can be selected with either the <link linkend="select-with-mouse">mouse</link> or the <link linkend="select-with-keyboard">keyboard</link>. </para>

<sect2 id="select-with-mouse">
<title>Using The Mouse</title>

<para>To select text with the mouse, place the mouse pointer at the start point.  Click and hold down the
&LMB; and drag the mouse pointer. This
selects all text between the initial click of &LMB; and the
current position of the mouse cursor.  When the mouse pointer is at the desired end point, release the button. 
The start and endpoints will become fixed.</para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="select-with-keyboard">
<title>Using The Keyboard</title>
<para>To use the keyboard, &kword; takes the initial position of the text cursor as the start point.  
Use the following key combinations to move the endpoint to the desired location.

<title>Using Multiple Views</title>
<sect2 id="views-intro">
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>When editing very large documents, there will be times when it is helpful to 
edit two parts of the document.  In a situation such as this, 
&kword; can open additional windows to edit the <emphasis>same</emphasis> document.</para>
<para>These new windows are called <emphasis>Views</emphasis>, since they provide 
a different viewpoint of the the same document.</para>
<para>Views are very important tools when working with large documents.
Set one view to edit one part of the document, and using the other view, freely
move through the document making updates and changes.  These changes are automatically revealed in all views.</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="views-new">
<title>Creating a new view</title>
<para>Creating a new view creates an entirely new window, with toolbars, menubars etc.
Compare this with the <link linkend="views-split">Split View</link> command.</para>

<para>To create a new view select <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>New View</guimenuitem>
</menuchoice> from the menubar. </para>

<para>A new window will be created.  Alterations to your document can be made in either view.
Updates in one window will be immediately visible in the other.</para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="views-split">
<title>Splitting the current view into two separate views. </title>
<para>It is also possible to split one view into two views.  Both views are contained within one window, and
use the same toolbars, menubars, etc.  Contrast this to the effect of the <link linkend="views-new">New View</link> command.</para>

<para>To split the current view, select
<menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Split View</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menubar. </para>

<para>The current document area will be split into two views. Alterations to your document can be made in either view.
Updates in one window will be immediately visible in the other.</para>

<tip><para>The views can either be split horizontally or vertically.  See the next section for instructions.</para></tip>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="views-split-orientation">
<title>Changing the split view orientation </title>
<para>To change the direction that the views are split, simply select
<menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Splitter Orientation</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menubar.
This will show a submenu.  Select either <guilabel>Horizontal</guilabel> or <guilabel>Vertical</guilabel>.</para>

<para>All views in the current window will immediately change to the new orientation.</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="views-adjust-size">
<title>Changing the size of views </title>
<para>The relative sizes of each view can be adjusted with your mouse.</para>
<para>To adjust the view size, look at the border between the scrollbar of one window
(the upper or right view) and the ruler of the other view (the lower or left view).  There is a
solid border which appears raised between the scrollbar and the ruler. As the mouse pointer passes
over this bar, it changes from an arrow to double lines with double arrows.</para>
<para>When the mouse pointer changes, click once with the &LMB; and hold the button
down.  Drag that border to the new location.  When the mouse button is released, the
views will change to the new proportions.</para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="views-remove">
<title>Remove View </title>
<para>To remove a view, simply click the mouse pointer in the view to be deleted.
Then select <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Remove View</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
from the menubar.</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="views-close">
<title>Close all views </title><para>To close all views,  select

</sect1>

<sect1 id="undo-redo">
<title>Undo/Redo</title>

<para>It happens all the time.  While working on a document, a change is made.
The change was wrong, now you want to back out of your changes.</para>

<para>Fortunately, &kword; has a solution.</para>

<para>Each time a change is made to a document, &kword; remembers what
the change was.  &kword; can
<emphasis>Undo</emphasis> each change one at a a time. </para>

<para>As an example, you are writing a business letter and type in the following sentence:</para>

<informalexample><para>It is a pleasure for me to give you this letter of introduction to your newest employee.</para></informalexample>

<para>But that doesn't seem right, so you change it:</para>

<informalexample><para>It is a joy for me to give you this letter of introduction to your newest employee.</para></informalexample>

<para>You decide it was better the first time and you want to change it back.</para>

<para>Simply select
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from
the menubar.</para>

<para>The text now reads <quote>pleasure</quote> again.</para>

<informalexample><para>It is a pleasure for me to give you this letter of introduction to your newest employee.</para></informalexample>

<para>If, after you Undo a change, and then decide the <guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem> was a mistake,
select
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Redo</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and
the Undo is reversed.</para>

<note>
<para>Sometimes it is not possible for &kword; to undo an edit.  In these instances, &kword; 
will replace the <guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem> function
with <guimenuitem>No Undo Possible</guimenuitem>.</para>

<para>Othertimes, &kword; will only perform a partial undo of the previous task.
This is because &kword; processes changes to documents differently then might
initially be expected.  Simply select
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
again, and more of the edits will be undone.</para>
</note>
<para>By default, &kword; keeps track of the last 30 edits to the document.
This number can be adjusted up or down.  For details, see <link linkend="opt-misc">Configuring &kword;</link>.</para>
<para>The <emphasis>Undo</emphasis> and <emphasis>Redo</emphasis> commands can
be accessed from the menubar (as in the examples above), by using keyboard shortcuts or from the toolbar.</para>

<title>Cut/Copy/Paste and the Clipboard</title>

<para>The <quote>clipboard</quote> is a concept familiar to most people
who have used modern word processors. It is a piece of your computers
memory which is set aside as a temporary storage space.  Text can be
<quote>Cut</quote> or <quote>Copied</quote> from your document into
the clipboard.  Now move to another part of the document or to
another application entirely, and <quote>Paste</quote> this text at the new
location. </para>

<para>The most common use for the clipboard is to move or copy text
which has already entered into one part of the document to another
part of the same document or to another document entirely.</para>

<para>This concept is probably best described with an example.</para>

<para>To do this, we begin with a test sentence</para>

<informalexample><para>The big, red fox jumped over the lazy dog.</para></informalexample>

<para>Using the mouse or keyboard, select the phrase <quote>big,
red</quote>.</para>

<para>Now select <menuchoice>
<guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from
the menubar.</para>

<para><emphasis>This has moved a copy of the selected text to the
clipboard.</emphasis></para>

<para>Now place the mouse cursor between <quote>lazy</quote> and
<quote>dog</quote> and click once.</para>

<para>Now select <menuchoice>
<guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
from the menubar.</para>

<para>The resulting sentence is: </para>

<informalexample><para>The big, red fox jumped over the lazy big, red dog</para></informalexample>

<para>The clipboard is not limited to text.
The clipboard can contain tables, pictures, spreadsheets or any other type of information.</para>

<title>The Replace Command</title>

<para>The replace command is an extension of the find command. If you
are familiar with the find command, you will see many
similarities.</para>

<para>The <guilabel>Replace</guilabel> command can be invoked 2
ways:</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>By selecting <menuchoice>
<guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Replace...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
from the menubar</para>

<para>When the <guilabel>Replace</guilabel> command is invoked, a dialog
appears.</para>

<sect3><title>Basic Search and Replace</title>
<para>The drop-down box labeled <guilabel>Text to find:</guilabel>,
provides a place for you to enter the text of your search command. (In
the screenshot, that box is currently filled with
<emphasis>KDE</emphasis>)</para>

<para>You can enter your replacement text in the text box labeled
<guilabel>Replacement Text:</guilabel>. You can now click
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> to replace all occurrences in the document, or
you can further refine your search.</para>

</sect3>

<sect3>
<title>Refining Your Search</title>

<para>&kword;'s find feature is much more sophisticated than we
discussed above.  Using the options in the dialog box, you can narrow
down your search to find <emphasis>exactly</emphasis> what you
want.</para>

<sect4>
<title>Pattern Matching</title>

<para>The default action for &kword; is to search for an exact match of
the text.  Fortunately, however, &kword; has the ability to match text
according to patterns.  </para>

<para>To enable patterns, place a mark in the box labeled <guilabel>Use
Patterns</guilabel>.</para>

<para>This will enable the <guibutton>Insert Pattern</guibutton> button.
This button can be a quick way to add patterns for people unfamiliar
with &UNIX; pattern matching.</para>

<note>
<para>You do not need to use the <guibutton>Insert Pattern</guibutton>
button, to insert your text string.  You can type it into the search
line.  The <guibutton>Insert Pattern</guibutton> button is a convenience
for people unfamiliar with pattern matching.</para>

<title>Using placeholders</title>
<para>Placeholders are useful when you want to add text to complex search strings.  Currently &kword; has only one placeholder:  
<emphasis>Complete text string</emphasis>.</para>
<para>This placeholder will contain the entire text string matched by the find command.</para>
<para>For example:</para>
<para>You create a search string, using patterns:  <emphasis>Reference \d</emphasis></para>
<para>Now in the <guilabel>Replace With</guilabel> section of the replace dialog, you place a mark in the checkbox labeled
<guilabel>Use placeholders</guilabel>.  Click the <guibutton>Insert Placeholder</guibutton> button and select
<guilabel>Complete text found</guilabel>.  &kword; will insert a <emphasis>/0</emphasis> in the 
<guilabel>Replacement text</guilabel> text box.</para>
<para>Now surround the placeholder with parentheses, so your text string is:  <emphasis>(/0)</emphasis></para>
<para>When this is executed, whenever &kword; encounters the find text (ie. <quote>Reference 0</quote>, <quote>Reference 1</quote>,
<quote>Reference 2</quote>, etc) it will surround the text in parethesis (<quote>(Reference 0)</quote>, <quote>(Reference 1)</quote>,
<quote>(Reference 2)</quote>, respectively). </para>
<para>As you can see, the placeholder will maintain a copy of the search text.  You can use this placeholder to add text to the ends of any
search string you can imagine.</para>
