Copying and Pasting into a Reauthorization Document
- From the Task List window, click on the Reauthorization
task and click on the "New" button;
- In the Output launch Reauthorization window, click
on the Document button. This brings you to the Microsoft Word document.
To copy an Agency Reauthorization form or progress notes into this Microsoft
Word document, click on the gray scroll bar button on the right side
of the window until you reach the area in which you want to insert the
text;
- Once the section is located after the "End
of Protected Section" click in the body of the document to position
the cursor in the area in which you will insert the text;
- Hold down the "Ctrl" (Control) key,
located under the shift key, in the bottom left corner of the keyboard
and press the "Esc" Escape key, located at the top left corner
of the keyboard, at the same time. This opens a small square box called
the Task List;
- Click on "Program Manager" to highlight
it and then click on the "Switch To" button. This brings you
to the "Program Manager" window;
- In the "Program Manager" window, double
click on the "Main" icon. Double click on the "File Manager".
The "File Manager" defaults to the "C" drive. If
the document is on a disk, click on the "A" button to change
to the "A" drive;
- Highlight the desired file and double click to
open the file. Click at the beginning of the text to be copied and press
the "Ctrl" (Control) key to highlight the complete document.
Alternatively, click at the beginning of the text you want to copy into
the Home Study and click on the left mouse button, slowly dragging the
cursor in the window until you have highlighted the text to be copied;
- Once the text is highlighted, click on "Edit"
on the menu bar. From the drop-down menu click on "Copy".
This temporarily places the copied text on a clipboard;
- Click on "Window" on the menu bar. From
the drop-down menu click on alphanumeric named file. This brings you
to the Home Study document;
- Make sure that your cursor is where you want the
text to appear. Click on "Edit" in the menu bar. From the
drop-down menu click on "Paste". The copied text will now
appear in the Home Study document;
- Click on "File" on the menu bar. From
the drop-down menu click on "Close". This brings you to the
"Output Launch window-Reauthorization". An "x" appears
next to the Home Study button. Click on "Save" to save the
information in the Home Study. This returns you to the Task List.
Important reminder: You must still "Save and Submit" the
F/A Home License window and the Output Launch Reauthorization window to
your supervisor for approval.
