Context Menus

Cut

Cuts out the selected object and stores it on the clipboard. The object can be reinserted from the clipboard by using Paste.

Paste

Inserts the element that you moved to the clipboard into the document. This command can only be called if the contents of the clipboard can be inserted at the current cursor position.

Insert

Opens a submenu in the Gallery where you can choose between Copy and Link. The selected Gallery object is either copied into the current document or a link is created. If you have selected an object in your document, then a new insertion will replace the selected object.

Background

Inserts the selected picture as a background graphic. Use the submenu commands Page or Paragraph to define whether the graphic should cover the entire page or only the current paragraph.

Copy

Copies the selected element to the clipboard.

Delete

Deletes the current selection. If multiple objects are selected, all will be deleted. In most cases, a confirmation question appears before objects are deleted. The object is either physically deleted from the data carrier or the object display is removed, depending on context.

If you choose Delete while in the Gallery, the entry will be deleted from the Gallery, but the file itself will remain untouched.

Open

Use the Open command to open the selected object in a new task.

Rename

Enables a selected object to be renamed. After selecting Rename the name is selected and a new one can be entered directly. Use the arrow keys to set the cursor at the beginning or end of the name to delete or add to part of the name or to reposition the cursor.

Update

Updates the view in the window or in the selected object.

Preview

The element selected is displayed in the Gallery at maximum size. Double-click the preview to switch back to the normal Gallery view.

Create Link

This command can be activated if an object is selected. A link named "Link to xxx" (xxx represents the name of the object) will be created directly in the same directory as that of the selected object.
