Edit

The Edit menu contains the commands needed to edit not only text but also roles, goals, tasks, and appointments.

The Edit menu contains the following commands:

Cut  Removes the currently selected object.  It may be pasted back later as long as nothing else is cut or copied first.  For information on cutting goals, see the section titled Moving Goals.  For information on cutting tasks, see the section titled Moving Tasks.
Copy  Copies the currently selected object to the pasteboard so that it can be pasted back either into the same place (effectively duplicating the object) or into another place.  Copy works the same as Cut except that the selected object is not removed.
Paste   Pastes an object previously cut or copied into the currently selected view.  The object pasted must be compatible with the view it is being pasted into.  For example, objects pasted into the Task window must be tasks.  For information on pasting goals, see the section titled Moving Goals.  For information on pasting tasks, see the section titled Moving Tasks.
Delete  Deletes the currently selected object.  The object is not copied it to the pasteboard.  The deleted object cannot be recovered.  If you want to option of recovering the object, use the Cut command instead.
Duplicate  Creates a copy of the currently selected object.  This command is equivalent to a Cut immediately followed by a Paste.
Merge  Merges the currently selected objects into one object. When two or more roles, goals, or tasks are selected, their children will be merged into the first selected item.  This is useful when you move a task from one goal to another, only to find that you already have a task by that name.  With the Merge command, you can combine the two tasks' appointments.
Note that merging tasks will require that all appointments be loaded if all of the tasks' appointments are not already loaded. This is done to ensure that all of the tasks' appointments are merged.  Doing this could take a minute.
Spelling...  Opens the Spelling Panel for checking the spelling of the currently selected description text or the mission statement.
Check Spelling  Begins the process of checking your spelling.
Select All  Selects all the text of the currently selected description text or mission statement.  Currently this command only works on text.  In the future it may also work on other objects, so you could, for instance, select all the tasks in the task view or all the appointments in a schedule.
