All: Remember, when you press C, you are clearing the selection in the current document, not the clipboard. I Can't imagine why pressing Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C would ever fail. We always replace the clipboard when pressing Ctrl+C, as long as there is a selection in the current document. If there is no selection, Copy is grayed, and Ctrl+C does nothing. Neal, if you press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C then switch to another document, You should always be able to paste, unless the second document is read-only. You may need to press C first to clear the selection in the second document. Otherwise, you will replace the selection in the second document with the clipboard. Rob Meredith >>> neal.ewers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 12/01/06 03:42PM >>> Pam, you are of course right about the hitting C to clear the selection. I have always thought this a bit strange however. In most all windows applications, when you copy something to the clipboard it erases what is already there. Some applications allow one to append to the clipboard, but I have never had one that I had to clear the selection first. Also, I don't always find the normal Windows controls for select all to work. I can do control A and then copy it to the clipboard. I can then go to another file and paste it in. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Again, it's probably because I have not pressed c to clear the previous selection. And so now, we are back to my quandary about pressing C in the first place. No need to answer this unless you wish. I am sure Rob will set me straight on Monday or whenever he gets back.

First, as far as your copying problems go--I think that what is happening is that you are not clearing the clipboard before making another selection. Therefore, your previous selections are still being honored. Before doing the next selection, hit c first, then make your new selections. Second, you could use the CD Block commands, but remember that they have to be on even sample boundaries. This could be tricky. Personally, I find it easier to copy what I want into separate files, using the selection method, then Control x, followed by control d to paste it into a new file. You can then save that file with the appropriate track name and make a CD with those files. Hope that helps. If not, we can pick the professor's brain on Monday.

If I copy something to the clipboard with control+C, and then paste it, all is well. However, if I do this a second time, what I originally copied keeps getting pasted, even if I select something different with the brackets and press control+c to copy something completely different. I have to close and reopen SR to fix this. Any idea why this is happening? Also, I have tracks on a CD that have multiple elements. In other words, I have a 25 minute long file with small audio elements that are separated by a few seconds. Is there anyway to use Studio to separate these elements into separate files? Could I use the CD block commands somehow to do this? Thanks, Jonathan
