Hello everyone,

I am a recent switcher and so far am loving my new macbook pro. I have pages 08 version and I am trying to find the clipboard equivalent. I am accustomed to working with Microsoft word for many years and I found th clipboard unction to be very useful when cutting and pasting from one document to another.

Is there anything equivalent to this on Pages? It would make my life much easier as I create quizzez, exams, and documents for my students.

From the help pages:-
When you use the Copy or Cut command, the selected text is placed in a holding area called the Clipboard, where it remains until you choose Copy or Cut again or you turn off your computer. The Clipboard holds the contents of only one copy or cut operation at a time.

You can have two documents open or more and just cut and paste between them.

I use a fee app called Jump cut
http://jumpcut.sourceforge.net/
It has a huge capacity and is very easy to use

Right-click any doc file, in the Opens with section, change it to Pages, and then click Change All...

ok, i figured it out. it's not in the open with section though it's when you right click the file and click get info that you can change how files of that type are handled.

thanks!
