When left-clicking to select text in a text document and selecting Copy to Clipboard, Mail Selected as Attachment, or Save Selected As, a dialog box containing a set of options is displayed. The dialog box below is the Clipboard Options dialog box, which is displayed when selecting Copy to Clipboard.

The Mail Selection Options or Save Selection Options dialog box is displayed when you select Mail Selected as Attachment or Save Selected As, respectively. All of the dialog boxes contain the same options. When the dialog box is displayed, specify the following options:

Option

Description

Text Range

  • Select All to save the entire document.

  • If you have selected text prior to selecting File | Save As, the Selected option is enabled. Select this option to save only the selected text.

  • Select a Page range to save only those pages.

Line Conversion

  • Select Make text one paragraph to save the text as one paragraph. Extra spaces will be added in order to separate each line of text.

    Note:

    If you select this option, current text formatting will not be kept.

  • Select Maintain each line as a separate line to save the text with its current formatting.

Space Conversion

  • Select No Conversion to save the text with all spaces intact.

  • Select Convert spaces to a TAB and enter a number to convert that number or more spaces to a tab upon saving (for example, if you enter a 2, when the system finds two or more space in the document, it will convert them to a tab).

Form Feed Conversion

  • Select Convert Form Feeds to a new line [CR/LF] to convert form feed code to a line upon saving.

  • Select Preserve Form Feeds to keep form feed code intact upon saving.

Remove Lines

The Remove Header Line and Remove Footer Line items can be used to strip unwanted text from the top and bottom of each page saved. Select to Remove the Header Line or Remove the Footer Line or select both to remove both upon saving. The number of lines removed from the header and footer are determined by the Report Header Line and Report Footer Line values set for the Document Type on the View / Print Options dialog box.

From the Clipboard Options dialog box, click Copy to copy the text to the clipboard. The text can now be pasted outside of OnBase.

From the Mail Selection Options dialog box, click Attach to attach the text to a new email message. Enter the recipient email address, a subject, and message text. Send the message.

From the Save Selection Options dialog box, click Save to save the text to a new file. Select the directory and enter a file name for the file. From the Save as type drop-down list of the Windows Save As dialog box, you can save the file as a text file or PDF file. By selecting All Files from the drop-down list, you can specify another file extension (e.g., .doc) for the file.
